    I have XF86Config-4 configured like this for my mouse:

    Section "InputDevice"
             Identifier "Configured Mouse"
             Driver "mouse"
             Option "CorePointer"
             Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
             Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
             Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
             Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
             Option "Buttons" "5"
    EndSection

    and for a while now the psmouse driver loses synch and goes nuts when I
    switch the KVM, even though Hotplug should keep it in there, as per this
    /var/log/messages:

    Aug 9 15:01:49 gondor kernel: logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech
    mouse model 86
    Aug 9 15:19:20 gondor kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at
    isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
    Aug 9 15:19:21 gondor kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at
    isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
    Aug 9 15:19:25 gondor kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at
    isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
    Aug 9 15:19:25 gondor kernel: logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech
    mouse model 86

    Does anyone recognise these error messages or know a fix?

    Would be v. grateful,
    Adam
