Hey all,

Wondering if anyone can help with a little problem that I have using FC4 
on a Dell Latitude c610 with the synaptics touchpad as well as a 
standard PS/2 mouse.

I am unable to plug-in a PS/2 mouse without the system loosing  the 
mouse and keyboard.

My X configuration (xorg.conf)has this in it:
InputDevice    "USBMouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice    "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice    "MouseStd" "CorePointer"

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "USBMouse"
Driver      "mouse"
Option     "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option     "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "MouseStd"
Driver      "mouse"
Option     "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option     "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option     "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Synaptics"
Driver      "synaptics"
Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option     "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
  Option "LeftEdge"      "1700"
  Option "RightEdge"     "5300"
  Option "TopEdge"       "1700"
  Option "BottomEdge"    "4200"
  Option "FingerLow" "25"
  Option "FingerHigh" "30"
  Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
  Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
  Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
  Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
  Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
  Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
  Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

I do see errros in the log and they show up as follows:

Jan  9 09:58:12 fischer-lxsrv kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at 
isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1

Any ideas? Is there a way to get both the synaptic interface the PS/2 
interface for the mouse working at the same time?

Thanks for your help
