Mouse freezes

[Jukka Huvinen]

My mouse freezes randomly under X. :(

Release 4.8, gdm + gnome. (Clean 4.8 install)

The mouse freezes only when typing text and after a random period of time.
Sometimes only in seconds (again when typing text).


/var/log/messages: (after crashing/freeze)
May 17 18:53:56 limo /kernel: psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte
count
May 17 18:55:17 limo /kernel: psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte
count


/etc/rc.conf:
moused_flags=""
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable="YES"


/etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection



After it has frozen, kill -HUP to the moused restores it working again,
but causes first some random movements and clicks (synchronizing?).
Then /var/log/messages says:
May 17 19:04:53 limo /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008).
May 17 19:04:53 limo /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (1).
...
May 17 19:04:55 limo /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (19).
May 17 19:04:55 limo /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008).
May 17 19:04:55 limo /kernel: psmintr: reset the mouse.



Any ideas what might be wrong? Found some out of sync reports from www &
FAQ, but they didn't help. (flags psm0 0x100 or 0x04 or 0x104.) Am I
missing something?

Help!
