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.
Boot with psmouse.proto=bare. That fixes all problems, but unfortunately also disables the scrollwheel :/ -Andi
