So much for certainty. I thought rate=40 fixed the desyncs and freezing but it's back, no more frequent, just the same as before. The question remains what XP is doing different that the problem doesn't occur there. I can reboot into XP and it runs fine for much longer than it takes the proble

For my part I'm certain of it: this is a failing mouse overloading some part of the link. The mouse now misbehaves rarely but it's plainly my middle mouse button sizzling briefly and everything recovers fine, no desyncs or parity errors at all after I backed off further to rate=40. shirish, if
