Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-38
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I'v been expericing PS/2 mouse bud in Xorg almost year. I upgareded kernel to
2.6.39 hoping it would solve the problem. However, it turns out the erractic
mouse synchronization error still exists.
In 2.6.32, psmouse.ko generated flooding messages like below. 2.6.39 module
does once or twice when it detects the lost of synchronization. Below is the
messages.

When it happen, window managers of Xorg takes up CPU instantly while loosing
mouse focus stop using Xorg, force to shut down Xorg in a termial. I tested on
fluxbox which is my main window manager, tried openbox too.
Here is a link I posted.

The solution I found was to replace the PS/2 mouse with a USB mouse.
