Both of the machines I have that have PS/2 mice and 2.2-ALPHA
(one is a P-120, the other a P-Pro-200) have a problem. Every
once in a while, the data stream will go out of sync and moving
the mouse will result in it going totally bonkers for a second or
two, usually ending up in a corner.

To be honest, I am not entirely sure whether to blame this on
XF86-3.2 or 2.2-ALPHA, but I wonder if anyone else has noticed
and perhaps worked around it.
