Bug description:
  On Lenovo Thinkpad L530 with XUBUNTU 12.10 the mouse randomly freezes.
  (this behavior is reported on Thinkpad L520 and some Dell and Asus devices
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/127884/touchpad-stops-working-after-suspend-on-lenovo-t520)

  The problem has most likely something to do with this issue
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-
  synaptics/+bug/896922 where I have been asked to fire new  report.

  I have tried so far...
  The bug occur on Xubuntu 12.04, CrunchBang(debian) as also Xubuntu 12.10

  I found some advices all around like install the gpointing-device-settings where some people suggest to turn off "smart mouse selection.. don't remember exactly the name. This feature is not found on Xubuntu, but Ubuntu.
  I played bit with the settings, nothing helped so far.

  I also tried use sudo modprobe -r psmouse which seams to help a bit from time to time, but not always..
  Sometimes the mouse is unlocked from the total freeze to a shaky slow moves. But because this command helps only for touchpads and not external devices, it is not much of use.. It doesn't solve the problem completely anyway.
  I found the advice here:
  http://xpapad.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/dealing-with-mouse-and-touchpad-freezes-in-linux/
  (I got the same errors in log as he mentioned in his post.)

  I also tried disable the touchpad by: xinput -set-prop 'Virtual core XTEST pointer' 'Device Enabled' 0
  This loges me out of session in an instant.

  I also found a tread where someone suggested update the kernel above
  3.4.8 so I updated the kernel to 3.6.2-030602-generic, but with no
  luck with that either... though I must say the problem occurs "less
  often".

  Some people say it happens it has something to do with temperature,... or the fan .. because it happens quite often when they work in bed... it happens to me in such a cases more often then usual, though it might be just quincidence ..depends where we sit more often :)
  The temperature never went too high.. I think.. it is always about 44-60C

  I have not found any way how to solve this problem, The restart won't
  help either.

  WORKAROUND: I use an external mouse hooked to an external Apple
  Aluminium keyboard and the mouse doesn't freeze.

  WORKAROUND: Unplug the AC adapter.
