Is this something that started happening on recent kernels or has it always happened on that hardware? When it loses sync what are the symptoms - does it just blip for a second or so and you get that message, or do you get a 10s of seconds lockup that also involves the keyboard? I ask because one of my fathers machines has developed a repeated PS/2 resync problem that I'm trying to track down; it's symptoms are that it apparently locks up with no keyboard/mouse response for a while and if it's lucky then does a resync.
