I've successfully installed FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE on the system and am happily using it except: Every 30 minutes or so, I lose my mouse pointer (on console and under XFree 4.2.0). dmesg: psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (1). psmintr: out of sync (0040 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (1). Restarting moused brings it back, but this is quite annoying. I see this behavior both with TrackPoint and with external MS PS/2 mouse. My previous system (Toshiba 7010) never ever lost sync on psm in 4 years, so I'm sure my external mouse is OK. Has anyone seen this behavior on their systems? I realize that ThinkPads are sometimes a little strange. Thanks in advance, Jeff Katcher jmkatcher@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
