If you use an ACPI battery monitor (I notice you are on a laptop and you have ACPI enabled), there is a lot of Bad Mojo (TM) in psmouse.c at the moment. Just don't use it if you have a synaptics touchpad, and things should work out immediately. Anyone who can comment on the status of this problem? I'd like to get it fixed too, personally, but I haven't been worrying much about it of late.
