The title says it. My synaptics touchpad is still jumpy and I also get those out-of-sync errors in dmesg: Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 4 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 4 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1 Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1 Synaptics driver resynced. psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away. [...and again and again...] I know of the pcilink patch for ACPI, Len Brown has posted, but this one doesn't do the trick for me. I also tried 2.6.6-mm5 and 2.6.7-rc1 (where this patch is already included), but still get the same results. I even don't know if it's ACPI-related, because the only thing that makes it seem to be so is that the battery data (gkrellm monitor and also /proc/acpi/battery) is broken, e.g. remaining capacity is going to values >10000mWh for the moment when my touchpad is out of sync. But then when syncing back the ACPI battery data is okay again, too. But my point is, that when using the kernel parameter acpi=off I still have the same problems with my touchpad. My hardware is also okay as I've got no problems at all with kernel 2.4.x. Bye. Thorsten -- PGP public key: http://home.arcor.de/thorstenhirsch/thirschatwebde.asc
