Hey Claude,
I've had this problem with various RedHat dirivatives, (Fedora, RHEL,
ConetOS, etc) for years. I just put
psmouse.proto=imps
in /etc/grub.conf, and the problem goes away. Add it to the "kernel"
line, e.g.,
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet psmouse.proto=imps
(beware of line wrapping)
Hope that helps,
-Paul
