Is that "ImPS/2"? Do you have gpm installed? If you boot to console,
does the mouse work after "kvm return"? (You'll need gpm installed and
configured to test that.)

I have a MSFT PS/2 intellimouse, 2.4.18 and X 4.1 and this all works
for me. My config is:
- gpm
- gpm device /dev/psaux
- gpm type autops2
- gpm repeat_type ms3
- X mouse device /dev/gpmdata
- X protocol IntelliMouse
- X Emulate3Buttons true
- X ZAxisMapping "4 5"
