I have an intermittent (and fairly rare) problem with various
PS/2 mice on a set of boxes running 4.1-R (but the problem was
also evident under 3.{1,2,3,4}-R). The boxes all run X and, on
occasion, the mouse will stop working and hundreds of "psmintr:
out of sync" messages will be logged.
It happens maybe once in 6 weeks on one of seven machines, so is
not easy to diagnose.
I can fix it by logging in with ssh (or switching to one of the
virtual consoles if the box is handy), killing and re-starting
moused.
This is not a very useful solution for distant clients who are
not competent to do stuff like that and tend to resort to the
power switch if I'm not available instantly -- and that leads to
undesirable collateral damage.
I'm keen to hear practical suggestions for a fix, or even better
that a bug has been found and fixed.
