Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 01:12:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 14:19:59 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 5 Jesus M. Rodriguez 2009-09-27 15:12:40 UTC
This just started happening for me in Fedora 11, so it is *NOT* a fedora 9 only bug.
reopening.

Comment 6 Erich Schroeder 2009-11-10 20:08:26 UTC
This began happening to me with the update to kernel-2.6.30.9 in Fedora 11 

Kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 works fine

Comment 8 Luke Sheldrick 2009-11-27 14:53:18 UTC
Still happening in the F12 / 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 also on a Dell E6400.

Comment 9 Erich Schroeder 2009-12-31 20:05:59 UTC
Still happening on F11 kernel 2.6.30.10-105. I've tried setting psmouse.rate as a kernel option, but that doesn't do any good.

I still use Kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586, which does not have the problem.

Comment 10 gregor 2010-02-13 21:20:50 UTC
hi,

i have the same problem (mousepad jumping around and didn't work) on my acer travelmate 4500 with fedora 12 "2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686"

workaround: bootparameter + acpi=off
problem with workaround: the battery status didn't work

i hope that somebody can make a fix for this.

gregor

Comment 11 gregor 2010-03-12 21:35:25 UTC
good news with the new kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686 it works on my device

Furthermore each time the synaptic touch-pad is enabled or disabled the keyboard 'stops' working, I mean the screen doesn't update the keys pressed, but a quick ctrl-alt-f2 fixes this behaviour.

Comment 19 Kyle Marek 2017-03-14 04:54:02 UTC
I experience this issue on an ASUS K501L running kernel-4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64 on Fedora 25. However, it seems to take a few days of uptime just for a chance of happening (so it is hard to reproduce), but I do observe the issue repeatedly.

Also note that Fedora seems to have switched from synaptics to libinput for X trackpad drivers.

Comment 20 Kyle Marek 2017-03-18 18:57:05 UTC
Well, perhaps this is a regression, or a hardware failure, because I'm noticing the issue within the first few hours of uptime, even after all power is lost (laptop completely dying).

Comment 21 Máirín Duffy 2017-10-21 13:23:41 UTC
This happens to me on a Thinkpad Yoga just about every 5-10 minutes when it's really bad. It's difficult to reproduce on demand though. This is what my log looks like in the aftermath:

[ 1759.235972] psmouse serio3: TrackPoint at synaptics-rmi4-pt/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
[ 2298.871088] rfkill: input handler enabled
[ 2299.490829] rfkill: input handler disabled
[ 2300.315768] psmouse serio3: TrackPoint at synaptics-rmi4-pt/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.

Usually it breaks my left click and right click. Sometimes it's worse and I can't move the pointer at all. Sometimes random other things break (this go around, my sound output device disappeared so I have no sound.)

If I switch ttys, sometimes I can recover the mouse buttons. 

This was never a problem from say F23-F25 and only manifested when I upgraded to F26.

Posting this here in case the workaround helps someone.

Comment 22 Kyle Marek 2017-10-21 16:41:56 UTC
I had the opposite experience; this happened to me during my usage of Fedora 25 and never happens to me on Fedora 26.

Comment 23 Máirín Duffy 2017-11-07 15:14:34 UTC
OK, so some good news if you have the issue I had in comment 21 - the synaptics driver was retired in F26, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/HO5NOLEDZCVHKUJP2LAJ7MDPZ26BOS44/

Even if you do a dnf upgrade from F25, synaptics will be turned off / not installed in F26 because the package name was changed to xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy! so after doing a dnf install xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy and rebooting my system, it's usable again! it must be the new libinput driver is incompatible / buggy wth the thinkpad yoga s1 pointer / touchpad.

Kyle, it must be the new driver works better for your hardware.

Comment 24 Kyle Marek 2017-11-29 00:53:29 UTC
Occurs to me again on Fedora 27.

Comment 25 Jan Lieskovsky 2020-11-30 18:52:39 UTC
Still present on Fedora 31 up to latest Fedora 33.
