My Synaptics Touchpad and Trackstick on my HP NC6400 RH484EA Notebook suffer the same issue, Issue was already present in 8.04 ans is still present in 8.10 with latest updates. Adding i8042.nomux=1 to kernel parameters gave me no cure. rmmod psmouse and modprobing again does not always lead to success.
This really often happens just some minutes after boot and makes my inputdevices unusable.
USB Mice connected to my machine never gave me trouble. I also investigated when Touchpad dies cat /dev/input/mice gives me no more output.

Never seen the Problem on WinXP which is installed on my machine, too.
