I have a similar issue with my desktop machine running SuSE 9.3 32bit that's hooked up to a KVM. When I switch back to the SuSE desktop the mouse goes haywire (large movements across the screen and random mouse clicks when I do not click the mouse buttons). The PC is a Dell Optiplex GX270. Then I get "lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away", sometimes it's 2 bytes and other times 1 byte. I never see the driver resynched message though. My workaround (part of which will not work for a touch pad) is to move the mouse about a quarter of an inch, which throws the cursor all over the screen, and then let it sit for a couple of seconds. When that doesn't work, I pick the mouse up until it can't read a surface below it and put it back down. It's a 3 button, wheel PS/2 optical mouse from Key Tronics hooked up to a Belkin OmniView SoHo series KVM. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Premeaux [mailto:bpremeaux@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:52 AM To: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] Touchpad Issues in 9.3 I have an Acer Aspire 1522LMi. I have been trying various 32/64 bit installs with 9.2/9.3 as I learn what works and what doesn't. I've settled on a 9.3 32 bit install which will let me set up the internal winmodem and wifi interfaces. One issue has been the Touchpad mouse under 9.3. I get a hesitation that sometimes requires that I wait a moment before trying to move the pointer. The message log file shows the following: linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 1 linux kernel: psmouxe.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 1 linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 4 linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 - driver resynched Occasionally you will also see: linux kernel: psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request I went into SAX2 and changed from the Synaptics Touchpad setup to Explorer/PS2 and rebooted. Still got the same messages. I also tried turning off the wheelmouse and setting it to 3 button emulation, but this didn't make a difference either. Does anyone have ideas on this one?
