Problems with Synaptics touchpad on Compaq Evo N600c and 2.6.0-test5

Problems with Synaptics touchpad on Compaq Evo N600c and 2.6.0-test5

[Kjartan Maraas]

I tried booting this kernel from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/
and lost my mouse completely. Here's a snippet from /var/log/messages

Sep 17 12:45:13 localhost kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all
mice
Sep 17 12:45:13 localhost kernel: i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing

Sep 17 12:45:13 localhost kernel: input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on

I've been testing with the XFree86 packages from rawhide, updated as of
today, and the mouse works ok with the 2.4.x kernel from the same place.

I've got the latest BIOS for this laptop if that matters.

Cheers

Hi,

i can confirm this on a HP Pavilion ze5343ea. Booting with "psmouse_noext=1"
works around it.

Regards,

Exactly the same here. I'm writing this while running 2.6.0-test5 with
that boot parameter and it works great here too. Thanks.
