| |
On a Dell laptop whenever I run a program that takes the full CPU, my mouse pointer goes insane and thrashes my X session every few minutes. It seems to have a mind of its own and always be able to make it to the Exit item in the root menu ;). Whenever this happens, psmouse logs and detects the error:
psmouse.c: Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
The pointing device itself is a Synaptics touchpad. I don't use the synaptics driver because every time I've tried it (intentionally and when forced to by older development kernels) it simply rendered the touchpad inoperative.
I'm running a late snapshot of 2.6.0-test11 which for all intents and purposes is the same as 2.6.0. The problem that I described happens with other versions of the 2.6.0-test series. I upgraded to this snapshot a few days ago to make sure I could reproduce the problem. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
