Comment 13 for bug 96596

The reason why I believe this is the same bug is on my machine when the mouse freaks out I also get the following in "dmesg" It appears that the touchpad is sending more information then psmouse can handle. and it resets and when that happens the mouse goes crazy for a couple of seconds. I really hope someone figures this out because I've found bug reports for it for over a year. Hope this helps.
