# dmesg | grep -i mouse
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - bad parity
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, 
throwing 3 bytes away.

Hmm, I have similar problems with my mouse since I'm using kernel 2.6.

Sometimes (once a day or only every second day) my mouse goes to the
left upper corner. But then works a normal. Extremly annoying while
playing UT2004.

But I don't get any kernel messages. With 2.4 everything worked fine.
(Currently using 2.6.8-rc2-mm1)

Martin
