I have this dell inspiron 8100 laptop with keyboard problems. Sometimes I just plug an external keyboard and it works ok.
If I remove the external keyboard while it's working, the internal keyboard "takes over", but after a while, the mouse dies.
This is what I got from dmesg after one of its deaths:
Code:
Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1
Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1
Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1
Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1
Synaptics driver lost sync at byte 1

Is there a way I can recover without having to reboot?
