Touchpad stops working, starts again. "psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request"

[Aaron Kurtz]

Using jaunty, 2.6.28-4-generic

The touchpad suddenly stopped working. Keyboard was fine, and the synergy server I was connected to still worked.

Error message was:

[12704.307200] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

A minute or so later, the thinkpad started working again.
Last action before this happened was disabling wireless in Network-Manager - could not reproduce by doing so again.

I am on an Hp Pavillion G601-121WM AMD running 9.04 64 bit and this impacts me too. Any idea when this will get fixed?

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If the issue remains, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) while running Karmic. It
will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.

apport-collect -p linux 319018

Thanks in advance
