bcm43xx and touchpad
Okay, I think I figured out a reason for the Touchpad losing sync. On my HP dv5000, it was caused by an interupt conflict with my bcm43xx module. I stumbled upon this revelation, but then I checked it by doing "sudo rmmod bcm43xx" and sure enough, the error "psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1" (etc, etc) goes away.
So, a new problem. As long as you need wireless, you're Touchpad will have this conflict. I'm curious as to how other people set up their wireless. My did not work out of the box with Ubuntu Dapper, and so I had to use bcm43xx-fwcutter to get it to work. Perhaps using ndiswrapper would fix the problem? I'll explore and report.
