However, it isn't a crash as leaving the machine alone for a random amount of time will normally fix it. Sometimes this delay is a matter of seconds, other times I have left if for about 20+mins. Interestingly enough, pinging the laptop from another computer will always unfreeze it immediately. > > As this occurs the following is printed to the console: > > Mar 27 11:23:57 opal kernel: psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != 0000). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (1). > > The above appears for each freeze, and every now and again this appears: > > Mar 27 11:23:57 opal kernel: psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != 0000). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (1). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0040 != 0000). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: discard a byte (2). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != 0000). > Mar 27 11:23:58 opal kernel: psmintr: re-enable the mouse. > > When the re-enable the mouse message happens then the pointing stick stops working and only the trackpad functions. > > This started happening with 5-RELEASE though not when -RELEASE was first installed. I am not sure what has caused it. This has actually been happening to me a fair amount too since before 5.0-RELEASE and still on -CURRENT: FreeBSD laptop.internal.irrelevant.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Mar 22 12:23:42 GMT 2003 root@laptop.internal.irrelevant.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP i386 If anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know too -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org
