Scot, Kudos for the find! This worked for me, i.e. I am using a Belkin KVM (OmniView Pro-8), MS Intellisense wheel mouse and using psmouse.proto=imp in the kernel command line (in Grub) worked for me. The mouse cursor no longer goes nuts and the thumbwheel works. Best regards, ~Dan On Mon, 14 Jun 2004 14:47:56 -0400, Scot L.
