Bug Description

dmesg error:
[4294861.028000] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

The problem is that sometimes, when I move the mouse really slowly, the mouse freezes, and I have to go back to the touchpad on my Toshiba Satellite m70 sr2 laptop. This is annoying only because I love the mouse, and hate the touchpad. My mouse is USB, I have XGL running on top of Xorg, and it is optical (laser) based. I tried replugging but it doesn't fix. Also, as a side note, when the mouse is broken and I try to restart via the graphical shutdown options in KDE or GNOME, the screen usually freezes, or goes black with just the mouse on the screen, and does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

For me, the problem disappeared with Ubuntu 7.04. However this was the last version of I used in the hardware that prompted my bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/55819 ( a duplicate of this one).

Sorry for the late reply. I still have this problem with 8.04. The mouse resyncs quickly though, so it is a minor nuisance at most.
