I have a 4.8-stable desktop, splitting input devices with a Windoze box from a Belkin Omniview. In the last few weeks, the mouse (a standard Gateway ps2) is getting stuck on a fairly consistent basis. Sometime I'm able to lock my desktop, switch over to the second box, then back and *if* the mouse reactivates, it will jump all over the place and would open/close windows and apps if the desktop was not locked (that was a painful lesson). Here's what shows up in /var/log/messages: /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (1). /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (2). /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (3). /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). /kernel: psmintr: re-enable the mouse. /kernel: psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte count If it gets to here, nothing I can do but reboot: /kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (19). /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). /kernel: psmintr: reset the mouse. /kernel: psm0: failed to reset the aux device. /kernel: psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize). reboot: rebooted by dsilver syslogd: exiting on signal 15 Any suggestions?? TIA. -doug
