I would second this, having been one of the posters with Belkin problems. The
referenced parameter psmouse.proto=*** (there are a couple of these, and imps
doesn't always work) just disable the wheel, which isn't so satisfactory a
solution.
And, on another note, my iogear unpowered KVM suggested by someone here many
months ago, has worked faultlessly. It's buried behind my monitors and a
stack of cables and I never give it a thought. I've recommended it to a
couple of associates who are equally pleased. It's also cheap. It comes with
it's own cable-set, and handles very hi-rez monitors without ever losing the
keyboard or mouse.
