Hmm. I was about to say that already tried that but obviously I had
understood something wrong as:
sudo sysctl -w psmouse.proto=imps
error: 'psmouse.proto' is an unknown key

I had edited sysctl.conf and added psmouse.proto=imps (and psmouse.resetafter=5
) to it but that probably does not work either.

Thanks for the tip, I will try booting with psmouse.proto=imps to see if it makes 
a difference or not.

Thanks. I will proabably try one of Arjan's 2.6.6 kernels next if the
psproto will not work, as there seems to be patches for synpatics for
kernels 2.6.6 but not for 2.6.5. As far as I can tell those patches are
unrelated to my problem but as I have no better things to try...

How did you measure temperatures? Do you have some GPL tool for it?
