KVM switches!

I have a Dell Latitude D600 docked in a PR01X Port Replicator with PS/2 and USB ports, a brand spankin' new Dell Optiplex GX280 with no PS/2 ports, a brand spankin' new Dell USB multimedia keyboard, and a generic USB mouse.  I need a KVM switch that will work.
 
I have an IOGEAR 2-port USB KVM Switch (Model #GCS632U) hooked up to the entire mess and voila', everything works...unless of course, I would like the keyboard when using my laptop.  I've found that if I hook the KVM directly to the laptop, it works fine.  If I try to route it through the port replicator, all but the keyboard will work.
 
Any suggestions?  I'm open for purchasing a different KVM if you know of one that will work...  Apparently, I need a KVM that has USB connections for the console and one PS/2 equipped computer (the port replicator) and one USB equipped computer (the Optiplex GX2809).
 
I've tried getting USB to PS/2 and PS/2 to USB adapters for the whole mess but, alas, that didn't do the trick.
 
Thanks!
