synaptics looses/hangs mouse
Hello,
I recently upgraded my vaio z505 je from sarge to etch. Worked mostly
flawless. One thing I noticed was the the mouse tapping was very sensitive,
which was annoying.
After digging somewhat in google, I found that the Sony has an ALPS mouse
topsi:~# cat /proc/bus/input/devices

and I should used the synaptics input driver in xorg
I added a new input device to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "SMouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
# Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
# Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
# Option "Finger" "25 30"
# Option "FingerHigh" "30"
# Option "FingerLow" "25"
# Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
# Option "LeftEdge" "1700"

which replaced the old configured PS2 mouse
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
in the ServerLayout
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
# InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "SMouse"
EndSection
Now I have a mouse which stops working after approximately 30 seconds of
usage. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows
