It still complains in dmesg about throwing away bytes, right? Please try
loading the box some more to make sure mouse survives some abuse.
No, it doesn't. The only message I still get is the one below. I've
tried it with aprox. 90% CPU usage already and I didn't have any
additional problems.
kernel: psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - bad parity
Your keyboard controller reported that the byte transmitted from the mouse
was mangled somehow and we should not trust it. I am not sure why it would
make mouse jump.. was there any mention of "reconnect" in the logs? Did it
happen just once?
It happened once when I was at the computer and several times while I
wasn't. There's no "reconnect" in the logs:
victor@vic:~$ cat /var/log/messages | grep reconnect
victor@vic:~$
