Bug Description
The touchpad on my Acer Aspire 1500 laptop locks up for short periods of time very frequently.
This problem or something like it was present in Dapper, but on upgrading to Edgy has become much worse, to the point that it is unusable, and I am going to have to revert to Dapper (which probably requires a complete reinstall).
Output from dmesg includes the following lines:
[17181980.796000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/
[17181980.796000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/

[17181986.808000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/
[17181986.808000] psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request
When viewing the dmesg output with watch "dmesg | tail", these lines seem to correspond with when the trackpad freezes.
I suspect that this is the problem reported here:

There is a forum thread here:

which reports the same problem.
There are also several bugs against xserver-
Thanks for your bug report. I have the same issue, and although I'm not sure if it is the same as bug #47971, I am sure it is the same as #34501 and marked it as such.
