do you have an USB mouse ? or a ps/2 one
ps2 mouse
I have this problem on test3 (kernel 2.6.5-1.327). For me it's triggered by putting the machine into sleep mode; when it comes back up, mouse goes haywire in X and kernel prints the 'lost synchronization' messages on the console. Restarting X does not help, but unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in resolves it (until I put the machine to sleep again). As a workaround I've moved the mouse from the PS/2 to the USB port, which doesn't seem to exhibit the problem. Mouse is a Logitech Optical Mouse M-BJ58; two buttons plus scroll wheel. I don't seem to have the problem at random though, just when coming back from sleep.
I see the same problem with the 2.6.x kernel-smp. I have an Epox EP-D3VA mobo with dual 1GHz PIIIs. USB is disable in the BIOS. I see this problem with Core 1 and kernel-smp 2.6.5 or 2.6.6. I also get the same problem when I boot from the Core 2 DVD.
I am running 2.6.5-1.358smp on i686, Supermicro X5DP8-G2 when running in SMP error occurs - Mouse at isa00600/serio)/input0 lost synch, throwing two bytes away.
any better with the 2.6.9 update ?
AFAICT, it's gone.
ok, reopen if it reoccurs. thanks
