psmouse sysfs problems

pwd
/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio0
root@blight serio0 # cat protocol
ImPS/2
root@blight serio0 # cat resetafter
0
root@blight serio0 # echo 5 > res
resetafter  resolution
root@blight serio0 # echo 5 > resetafter
root@blight serio0 # cat resetafter
0
root@blight serio0 #            

and sending 0, 1, 2 to protocol changed nothing.
same for resolution.
i needed that feature to switch from synaptics to imps protocol and
back.

i'm using 2.6.12-git10.

what should i do?

Hi,

try this:

    echo -n "imps" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX/protocol
    echo -n "auto" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX/protocol

psmouse (and serio core in general) does not like exta characters (like
newline) in requests and discards such requests.

thanks it seems working on my desktop, i'll try on my notebook too.

the problem is that plugging a imps2 mouse to notebook doesn't work with
synaptics touchpad.
i needed to unload psmouse module and reload with proto=imps

in win drivers (sorry!) i see that as soon as i plug the mouse, driver
intercept it and says
that synaptics advanced features will be disabled.
when i unplug the mouse i get this features back.
i'd like linux to do the same thing automatically, i'll play with
protocol auto and resetafter values 

I'll report my test results

Here are results:
manual actions (i mean manual echo to protocol..): perfect

i tought resetafter param could restart the driver and set to a lower
protocol, but doesn't.
i see in dmesg that it only ask for resync after $resetafter value i
set.
using proto=auto, it always set synaptics protocol, even with plugged
mouse.

would be nice and automatic protocol up/down, maybe helped by resetafter
or another parameter 
for example:
"checkafter" that recheck configuration every xxx seconds and change
protocol.

Good /sys work however 

I'm ready to test any changement, just notice me.
