2.6.0-test1 some Problems (modules & touchpad)

2.6.0-test1 some Problems (modules & touchpad)

[Joerg Stephan]

Hello everybody,

i've tried to run 2.6.0-test1 today on my acer aspire 1601lc, i've got 
two Problems.

First of all, there is a problem with the modules (the same i had with 
some versions of 2.5.x), see output below.

The second is, the touchpad of my notebook doesnt work.

I have the same problem with the touchpad on a dell inspiron 5000e,
Also having problems with Maestro 2E soundcard (ALSA).

There is also something weird going on with my pcmcia (CardBus TI PCI1225)
ethernet card (NE2000 compat),
but I have to look futher into it to tell for sure it isn't working.

Kernel was compiling just fine, and I was using module-init-tools
0.9.13-pre-1.

Hi,

a similar problem here on a Targa XP.

The wheel of the touchpad is on /dev/input/event0 and /dev/psaux
The touchpad and the regular buttons are on /dev/input/event1
This is kind of strange.

dmesg:
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: PC Speaker
i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.0.
serio: i8042 AUX0 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
 Firware: 4.1

input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

and later on:

Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver lost sync at 1st byte
Synaptics driver resynced.

Please look the older postings.
There is a new handling of Touchpad, as of 2.5.74.
Until the userspace programs (X w/o special driver,
gpm) are adapted, there is a workaround:
preferably compile mouse support as a module (called
'psmouse').
Load the module with a parameter 'modprobe psmouse
psmouse_noext=1' .
You could alternatively pass that parameter to your
kernel boot parameters (if psmouse is not a module).
These are under the 'options' part of LILO, for
example.

This workaround will enable the old PS/2 mode of the
touchpad and X will be able to read events from
'/dev/input/mice'.

ps. please remind the lkml about this. I'm not sending
from my regular address.
