2.5.70 ibm trackpoint weirdness

[Gabor MICSKO]

Hi!

Sometimes my trackpoint (ibm r32 notebook built in mouse) totally out of
control (randomly) under X11. Under 2.4.x kernels works fine.

Error message from syslog:

Jun  1 13:32:18 gmicsko03 kernel: psmouse.c: Lost synchronization,
throwing 2 bytes away.
Jun  1 13:35:22 gmicsko03 kernel: psmouse.c: Lost synchronization,

dmesg:
