If I plug my new mouse directly into the box, it works. I went to run level 3 and ran "Xorg -configure" and it built a new xorg.conf file in /root/xorg.conf.new. The FC6 machine set the mouse protocol to "Auto" in the generated config. When I hooked the mouse back up to the KVM, it went back to running around randomly and clicking on things. I have used the KVM successfully for several iterations of Fedora with my old 3 button PS2 mouse. The nice thing about the old system-config-mouse was that it gave you a list of mice from which you could pick a best match. I have not stumbled across this list elsewhere. I am currently loading FC4 on a test machine and will see what kind of mouse configuration it comes up with for the new mouse. I will then try copying that to my FC6 machine and see what happens.
