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.
