Strike! Helps.
No more warnings, no more bad clicks, and a *real* smooth movement.
Never thought, a touchpad can work *this* well... ;-)
Anyway, I still get those 4 lines on leaving X, but don't know, if it is
an error of the kernel, anyway, and doesn't do anything bad exept of
warning me:
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).

Does booting with i8042.i8042_nomux=1 help? That should keep the MUX in
legacy mode. (well, depending on the kernel version it's either i8042.nomux
or i8042.i8042_nomux, -mm1 and my patches use former, in 2.6.1 vanilla uses
later form).

Great!
Could you tell us what kind of laptop you have (manufacturer/model)
so other people would not have such pain as you had with it?

I believe Vojtech said that it's because X on startup tries to talk to the
keyboard controller directly, nothing to worry about... But I might be
mistaken.

Last mail from me for this theme:
The kernel version without Your patches gets sync losses even when I use
the i8042.nomux=1 parameter.
Yours,
Gunter.

It's an XFree86 error. It's accessing the keyboard controller directly
behind the kernel's back. It even could cause the controller to fall out
of MUX mode.

Hello there!
I am the guy with the Siemens Amilo-M Notebook and the Synaptics Touchpad
loosing sync.
I have upgraded to linux-2.6.2, and IT WORKS out of the box! Even without
the 8042.nomux kernel parameter.
In the Changelog there are some of the kernel patches You gave me for 2.6.1,
and loads of ACPI changes. Perhaps You were right, and the power management
interferred with the Multiplexer.
Thanks a lot another time,
Gunter Königsmann.

This Czech walks into police station in 1968 during the Fraternal Assistance.
Czech: Hey, out there in the street, a Swiss soldier knocked me down and
took my Russian watch.
Desk Sergeant: Come again?
Czech: Right out there in the street, a Swiss soldier knocked me down and
took my Russian watch.
DS: You're confused. Why would there be a Swiss soldier here? And who
would want to own a Russian watch? It was a Russian soldier who
knocked you down and took your Swiss watch, right?
Czech: Well, maybe, but you said it, not me.
