I've had problems with a synaptics touchpad + USB laser mouse but wasn't using the \
touchpad at all. It wasn't stick-related, possibly not X-related, the mouse would \
connect/disconnect randomly but it's an old laptop so it's possible the mouse was \
just drawing too much power. I haven't investigated the issue further yet.
