    This has happened to me 3 times now, each time it lasts for about a
    month, since I upgraded my old Redhat box to Sarge.

    The psmouse driver and hotplugging lose synch, as per this
    /var/log/messages:

    mouse model 86
    Aug 9 15:19:20 gondor kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at
    isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.

    mouse model 86

    I don't know why it goes AWOL sometimes, and then remains in perfect
    working order for weeks again. To hazard a guess I'd say it was due to
    things I installed.

    Is there anything I can do about it?

    Muchas gracias
    Adam
