Hello! I was having exactly the same issues with brand new T440s from Lenovo. psmouse get lost sync every time I did a physical click on clickpad. But for me that was HW issue: after disassembling notebook I saw touchpad cable was not snapped into touchpad at all. Because latch (with cable) moves 2-3mm each click -- what was bad contact during that. To deal with that issue I did removed only internal battery pack and locked a cable on touchpad with a screwdriver :) (15-20 minutes for whole operation) Dont know what Windows internaly do with synaptics protocol, but there was no issues in Windows at all (but in recovery mode clickpad was not working at all). Anyway, no problems in Gentoo with 3.12-3-pf kernel for me now! And no more that weird “out of sync” messages from psmouse at all.
