Does this work without the KVM? Is the KVM using USB or are you using a usb to ps2 converter. Can you switch to tty2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and give me the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Yes the mouse work without the KVM. The KVM is using PS/2 The mouse is a USB mouse. I am using a USB to PS2 converter.

Does passing: psmouse.resetafter=3 help when using the KVM.
Note this is a kernel boot argument so should be appended to the boot line through grub
After booting in DVD, at the boot: prompt, I typed "linux psmouse.resetafter=3" and then I pressed Enter It boots and load anaconda installer. Detects my mouse as Generic 3-button mouse and then in graphical mode, same thing happens, my mouse does not work. The mouse pointer is there but when I move my mouse, the pointer does not move.
Can you retry this time with psmouse.proto=bare
Yes it works!
