Envelope please:  KVM, psmouse.proto=imps

I am guessing you are running with a KVM switch, possibly a Belkin 4
port KVM.  (You really should turn off the web cam....   :)   )

Several of us have had similar problems.  One fix that seems to work for
most people is to add psmouse.proto=imps as a kernel parameter.

Go to /boot/grub/grub.conf and add that to the end of the kernel line.

Reboot and it should be resolved.
