2046, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please test the latest 
upstream kernel available (v3.10-rc1) following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the 
mainline kernels archive directory daily folder, but the one all the way at the 
bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel 
version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, 
please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.10-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why 
specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Mouse freezes from time to time. The touchpad as well as external
  mouse.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Lenovo Thinkpad L530 with XUBUNTU 12.10 the mouse randomly freezes.
  (this behavior is reported on Thinkpad L520 and some Dell and Asus devices
  
http://askubuntu.com/questions/127884/touchpad-stops-working-after-suspend-on-lenovo-t520)

  The problem has most likely something to do with this issue
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-
  synaptics/+bug/896922 where I have been asked to fire new  report.

  I have tried so far...
  The bug occur on Xubuntu 12.04, CrunchBang(debian) as also Xubuntu 12.10

  I found some advices all around like install the gpointing-device-settings 
where some people suggest to turn off "smart mouse selection.. don't remember 
exactly the name. This feature is not found on Xubuntu, but Ubuntu.
  I played bit with the settings, nothing helped so far.

  I also tried use sudo modprobe -r psmouse which seams to help a bit from time 
to time, but not always..
  Sometimes the mouse is unlocked from the total freeze to a shaky slow moves. 
But because this command helps only for touchpads and not external devices, it 
is not much of use.. It doesn't solve the problem completely anyway.
  I found the advice here:
  
http://xpapad.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/dealing-with-mouse-and-touchpad-freezes-in-linux/
  (I got the same errors in log as he mentioned in his post.)

  I also tried disable the touchpad by: xinput -set-prop 'Virtual core XTEST 
pointer' 'Device Enabled' 0
  This loges me out of session in an instant.

  I also found a tread where someone suggested update the kernel above
  3.4.8 so I updated the kernel to 3.6.2-030602-generic, but with no
  luck with that either... though I must say the problem occurs "less
  often".

  Some people say it happens it has something to do with temperature,... or the 
fan .. because it happens quite often when they work in bed... it happens to me 
in such a cases more often then usual, though it might be just quincidence 
..depends where we sit more often :)
  The temperature never went too high.. I think.. it is always about 44-60C

  I have not found any way how to solve this problem, The restart won't
  help either.

  WORKAROUND: I use an external mouse hooked to an external Apple
  Aluminium keyboard and the mouse doesn't freeze.

  WORKAROUND: Unplug the AC adapter.
