Greetings,

sometimes my touchpad doesn't seem to react instantly to clicks or move-
ments.   And after booting  I find lines like the following in my kernel
log:

   Jun 24 17:50:38 tux kernel: [    2.545000] psmouse serio2: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5674], y [..4758]
   Jun 24 17:50:38 tux kernel: [    2.661921] psmouse serio2: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1268..], y [1096..]
   Jun 24 17:50:38 tux kernel: [    2.662824] psmouse serio2: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: SYN1218 PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input@vger.kernel.org.
   Jun 24 17:50:38 tux kernel: [    2.809817] psmouse serio2: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.2, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xf00123/0x840300/0x26800/0x0, board id: 3189, fw id: 1944273
   Jun 24 17:50:38 tux kernel: [    2.852778] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input11

And later plenty of lines like this:

   Jun 25 08:52:41 tux kernel: [ 6454.817631] psmouse serio2: TouchPad at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 4 bytes away.

Checking my kernel configuration for "i2c", "hid", and "rmi" returns the
following:

Am I missing some kernel configuration parameter?   What about this "ps-
mouse.synaptics_intertouch"?  Is this intended to be added to "GRUB_CMD-
LINE_LINUX_DEFAULT"?  Should I really do this?

Any suggestions appreciated :-)

Sincerely,
  Rainer
