Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid)
Gnome: 2.24.1 (Ubuntu 2008-10-24)
Kernel: 2.6.27-11-generic (#1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009)
CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56
At completely random times, the mouse looses sync, and fails to recover.
This affects only the *click* functions, not pointer visibility or
travel. I've seen reports, in various Linux flavors, with errors of
psmouse.c losing sync, but haven't found any specifically talking about
a loss of click functionality.
I've attached a log dump of all /var/log files containing the string
'mouse'. You can see where the driver is frequently losing/restoring
sync. At some point, it simply loses sync, and fails to restore.
I've tried to tie this to specific actions, CPU loads or high memory
utilization, but thus far, it's seemed random, in that it's not tied to
any specific action or application I've noticed. However, it does only
seem to occur, when there are user-initiated active processes going on.
If the machine is idle and processing normally, things are fine.
This is an HP Pavilion DV9320US. Ubuntu 8.10 is the only release to be
installed to this machine, so I cannot say if prior releases had this
problem. This has been an ongoing problem since the OS was installed, in
Nov/Dec time-frame.
Problem *seems* to be tied to a kernel issue, as seen in these log
entries, which is an example of the sync loss, requiring either a reboot
or X restart:
syslog.0:Feb 4 00:30:27 Megatron kernel: [11315.129813] psmouse.c: TouchPad at
isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 4
