Using the 2.30.3 kernel from the mainline repo., esp. on battery power, I get log entries like:
Aug 17 01:13:04 wopr kernel: [57733.347824] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost sync at byte 1
Aug 17 01:13:04 wopr kernel: [57733.366392] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio2/input0 - driver resynched.
and my touchpad on a Dell Inspiron 1525, cat /proc/bus/input/devices
...
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=7321
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input29
...

Using modprobe to remove and add the psmouse driver restores it to
working order.

This didn't happen under stock 9.04 but then my Intel graphics were
busted. Kernel bug ? I will try the GRUB option.
