I applied the patch and added two zeros to usleep() in
tp_ps2_send_reset(), but I still see the same problems:

  o "Unrecognized Synaptic PS/2 Touchpad packet" messages.  I have another
    log with these error messages.  All debug options are defined in
    synaptics.c.  Log is at

    http://www.k-lug.org/~griswold/gpm/gpm-debug.error

    Note that in this log gpm prints an error that it doesn't think the
    touchpad is a synaptics touchpad.  However, it still works.

  o Inability to use the middle mouse button without using another button
    first.  There is no additional debug output when the debug options are
    defined.

  o Intermittent pointer movement under X when using gpm in repeater mode.
    I think this is related to the first problem, since the debug output
    when this happens has a lot of the messages.  Log is at

    http://www.k-lug.org/~griswold/gpm/gpm-debug.repeater
