Re: [PATCH] input: Thinkpad R31 i8042 nomux quirk

[legolas558 <legolas558@email.it>]

Hi Colin,

I have removed 'i8042.nomux=1' from my kernel command line (kernel 
2.6.25-gentoo-r8) and the mouse glitches bug has not yet happened (last 
time I had 2.6.22 or so).

I assume it has been fixed in previous releases, and got unnoticed. I 
will reply again to this message if there is again necessity to use 
i8042.nomux=1.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the noise.

Best regards,
