    After upgrading to 2.2.16 I can't use gpm with my synaptics touchpad.
    It works for a couple seconds and then the cursor won't respond and I
    get hundreds of dmesgs like:

    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: tossing PS/2 data:
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: 43
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: AA
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: 55
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: D0
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: A0
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: F2
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: tossing PS/2 data:
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: D0
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: 7F
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: 39
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: A0
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: F2
    /usr/sbin/gpm[166]: 45

    Maybe this is a gpm bug, but it worked in 2.2.15 (although I always got
    a similiar behavior after a suspend). I'm using a Dell Inspiron 7500
    with Slackware 7.0 (mostly... gpm is now 1.19.2). This happens even
    with the console (no X involved). Could any of the kernel changes have
    affected this?

    Thanks,
