hey dotan -
this has been a common problem for a long time. the most commonly used
solution appears to be to force the kernel to use a particular mouse
protocol. for me, it worked to add this to the grub.conf line for the
kernel: psmouse.proto=imps
others have found other protocols.
but, i have never had any problems with the xp box getting confused, so
you may have some other problem going on.
