Hi

somebody ask this on Centos forum this week, so here is my answer post from there:

This was my nightmare for about few days. I was and still am running hdd
install of knoppix 4.02 on main pc and second testing pc with (win xp,
debian, knoppix, kbuntu,ubuntu, freebsd and now centos :o). Using Belkin
KVM for two computers.

The only solution i found was to put " psmouse.proto=imps " to grub. It
is also working when booting knoppix live cd as cheat code. But did not
succed on *buntu livecd. I did not test it on Centos, as i am only using terminal.

good luck
