340 I was wrong about her mouse being the same as mine: Her's is a Mitsumi
341 wheel mouse and mine is a Logitech wheel mouse. Is there a way to view
342 the boot up messages without actually rebooting? Also, I pulled this
343 from her dmesg output:
344
345 catherine ~ # dmesg | grep 'ouse'
346 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
347 throwing 3 bytes away.
348 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
349 throwing 1 bytes away.
350 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
