I actually applied the eariler solution of psmouse.proto=bare last night
and it worked (althought it disables the wheel). I will try your
solution and see if it works as well and preserves the wheel function.
thanks...

A similar post has prompted this one. I use a Belkin KVM switch and have
had problems with the mouse "going crazy" when switching back to fc3.
I'm using a PS/2 wheel mouse and have found in the past that if I select
just a generic three button mouse (no wheel) everything is fine. However
I cannot find where i can change the mouse selection in fc3 as I could
in RH8. Anybody know how?
This is a Frequently Asked Question: Belkin's are bad at this.
You will need to add the phrase psmouse.proto=imps or psmouse.proto=imps
to the kernel command line. In Grub you can highlight the kernel you're
about to boot and press "e": to do this permanently, you should
(carefully!) edit /boot/grub/grub.conf .
Having read that, I notice there is also a psmouse.resetafter= (try to
reset the mouse after so many bad packets) option. E.g.
psmouse.resetafter=10
If you find this helps, *please* let us know.
