    On a Dell laptop whenever I run a program that takes the full CPU, my
    mouse pointer goes insane and thrashes my X session every few minutes.
    It seems to have a mind of its own and always be able to make it to
    the Exit item in the root menu ;). Whenever this happens, psmouse logs
    and detects the error:

    psmouse.c: Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing
    2 bytes away.

    The pointing device itself is a Synaptics touchpad. I don't use the
    synaptics driver because every time I've tried it (intentionally and
    when forced to by older development kernels) it simply rendered the
    touchpad inoperative.

    I'm running a late snapshot of 2.6.0-test11 which for all intents and
    purposes is the same as 2.6.0. The problem that I described happens
    with other versions of the 2.6.0-test series. I upgraded to this
    snapshot a few days ago to make sure I could reproduce the problem.
