i have got the same problem, no fixes with GRUB arguments work. I made a temporary fix for me, maybe you could try that. It involves editing kernel-source code.
1) download kernel source, i took 3.0.0, and unpack 2) edit file: sudo gedit drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c 3) look for static int psmouse_handle_byte(struct psmouse *psmouse) you have to comment out some lines, my psmouse_handle_byte function is: static int psmouse_handle_byte(struct psmouse *psmouse) { psmouse_ret_t rc = psmouse->protocol_handler(psmouse); switch (rc) { case PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA: /* if (psmouse->state == PSMOUSE_ACTIVATED) { * printk(KERN_WARNING "psmouse.c: %s at %s lost sync at byte %d\n", * psmouse->name, psmouse->phys, psmouse->pktcnt); * if (++psmouse->out_of_sync_cnt == psmouse->resetafter) { * __psmouse_set_state(psmouse, PSMOUSE_IGNORE); * printk(KERN_NOTICE "psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request\n"); * serio_reconnect(psmouse->ps2dev.serio); * return -1; * } * } */ psmouse->pktcnt = 0; break; case PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET: psmouse->pktcnt = 0; if (psmouse->out_of_sync_cnt) { psmouse->out_of_sync_cnt = 0; printk(KERN_NOTICE "psmouse.c: %s at %s - driver resynched.\n", psmouse->name, psmouse->phys); } break; case PSMOUSE_GOOD_DATA: break; } return 0; } no more freezes, BUT I don't know what the consequences are, now it does not resync anymore. Please backup the file before editing. Then compile your kernel regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773433 Title: [ThinkPad Edge 11] Touchpad+trackpoint freezes for several seconds every 1-5 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
