This can happen if 1) Somehow previous data bytes have been lost and data packet sequence has been disturbed. 2) Or, the device is actually sending unknown sequence of data bytes. (What pointing device does your ThinkPad have?) 3) Or, the device is broken and sending wrong data bytes. You may experience erratic mouse movement when this happens, but the driver should quickly re-synchronize itself with data packets and all should be fine then. >Kernel config is: >... >device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmi >ntr >options PSM_HOOKAPM #hook the APM resume event >options PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND #reset the device at the resume event >options BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET (BTW, BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET has nothing to do with the PS/2 mouse or the keyboard. It is about the system reset via the keyboard controller, and is relevant only when you have problem with shutdown. The name is misleading...)
