You should use the IMPS/2 protocol with the /dev/input/mice device (Mouse0). Also, you shouldn't need the Mouse1 subsection.
Same issue on Dell Inpsiron 7000. Upgraded from a up-to-date FC1 to an up-to-date FC2. Problem first seen during the FC2 install process and continued into X. Also getting xorg-x11 error about a keyboard device but not sure if this is related... Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem. X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 60700000 Output from xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "gb", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "gb", "", "" Output from gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb layouts = [gb] model = pc101 overrideSettings = false options = []
Got this on boot this evening... On moving external mouse the following appeared on the console multiple times, stopping when the mouse was no longer moved: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 On moving the cursor with the touchpad: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynched That was seen between getting the console login prompt and X loading, I was able to CTRL-ALT-F1 and continue to this after X loaded fully
This is most likely a kernel issue. What kernel version are you using, and could you try to update to a newer version?
Just tried another yum update, I'm running the latest release kernel. This problem appeared with FC2 installation tool, kernel 2.6.5 from the install CD and 2.6.8-1. Was OK on FC1 with a 2.4 kernel. Is OK in Win98 on the same box too.

Same problem with Fedora Core 3 Fedora Core 3 / HP Omnibook XE2 kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 External PS/2 mouse does not work along with touchpad. psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 Because my touchpad is not working properly (mecanical problem) the whole system is practically unusable because of this. I think that the severity of this bug should be marked "high" not "low"...
I found an explanation and a workaround for this problem! Just add "psmouse.proto=bare" to the kernel boot-line in /etc/grub.conf. Mine is: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet psmouse.proto=bare Now both touchpad and external ps/2 mouse works (except scrolling wheel). Jonathan From linux.debian.user 2004-03-15: I got the answer from Dmitry Torokhov and Peter Osterlund. You have to pass psmouse.proto=bare to the kernel an now it works. If you want IntelliMouse pass also psmouse.proto=imps The Problem is: (Dmitry Torokhov) It seems that older Compaqs and some ASUS have the following issues: 1. They lack an active multiplexing controller 2. They completely hide presence of an external mouse port. So what happens is that kernel detects Synaptics and assumes it is the only device. Then out of sudden is gets a steam of bare PS/2 data from external mouse which of course violate Synaptics protocol standard and you get these "lost sync" messages. I would think its a design mistake and that these manufacturers do not expect Synaptics touchpad ever used in its native mode. For example on my Dell mouse connected to the external port takes over the Synaptics (it's also lacks active multiplexor) so if there is something on the external port the Synaptics is not detected at all allowing kernel to work out of the box. You have 2 possible workarounds: 1. Pass psmouse.proto=bare to the kernel therefore forcing Synaptics to work in PS/2 emulation mode, but you will loose advanced features, like scrolling and corner tapping 2. Invest in an USB mouse. In my case it works great (also the Touchpad Tabbing Function still works) Sascha
The workaround fixes the problem on my Dell Inspiron 7000. Thanks!
