Thanks for following up on this. Actually, it seemed to stop being a problem in the next release, so you may as well mark it fixed.

Shortly after every login, my mouse stops responding entirely, and can only be revived either by logging out and back in (which is futile) or unloading/reloading the psmouse kernel module. Steps to reproduce: 1. Log in 2. Perform normal activities for maybe five minutes, possibly only thirty seconds. 3. The mouse will stop responding. This seems to be slightly correlated with switching windows or Firefox tabs. After the workaround, the mouse never freezes again until I log out and back in. Sometimes, though, the tapping or drag-scrolling feature stops working without the pad itself freezing, and this requires another module cycle. Looking at `dmesg` tells me that there are a number of diagnostics: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 that seem to be produced at that time. I don't know if this is a kernel bug or not; I am attaching the appropriate logs.
