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. I did not test it on Centos, as i am only using terminal. good luck Pavel SRB
