Is this something that started happening on recent kernels or has it
always happened on that hardware?

When it loses sync what are the symptoms - does it just blip for a second
or so and you get that message, or do you get a 10s of seconds lockup
that also involves the keyboard?

I ask because one of my fathers machines has developed a repeated
PS/2 resync problem that I'm trying to track down; it's symptoms
are that it apparently locks up with no keyboard/mouse response
for a while and if it's lucky then does a resync.
