Re: [RFT/PATCH] KVMS, mouse losing sync and going crazy

[Mitch <Mitch@0Bits.COM>]

I applied your v4 patch, and that fixes it somewhat insomuch as it it 
working, but it keeps resetting itself if i stop using it for a few 
milliseconds, so the mouse appears sluggish as it performs a reset 
whenever i use it. Here are the messages i see (100's of them).

ALPS Touchpad (Dualpoint) detected
   Disabling hardware tapping
input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio1
psmouse.c: resync failed, issuing reconnect request
