Yes, I have already had the reporter to do this, but that's even better -- a lot of commands time out, as you can see below 20 -> i8042 (command) [0] 47 <- i8042 (return) [0] 20 -> i8042 (command) [0] 47 <- i8042 (return) [0] 60 -> i8042 (command) [0] 56 -> i8042 (parameter) [0] d3 -> i8042 (command) [0] 5a -> i8042 (parameter) [0] 5a <- i8042 (return) [0] a7 -> i8042 (command) [0] 20 -> i8042 (command) [0] 76 <- i8042 (return) [0] a8 -> i8042 (command) [0] 20 -> i8042 (command) [0] 56 <- i8042 (return) [0] 60 -> i8042 (command) [0] 56 -> i8042 (parameter) [0] d3 -> i8042 (command) [0] a5 -> i8042 (parameter) [0] a5 <- i8042 (aux_test_irq, aux) [1] 60 -> i8042 (command) [1] 74 -> i8042 (parameter) [1] 60 -> i8042 (command) [1] 56 -> i8042 (parameter) [1] 60 -> i8042 (command) [1] 47 -> i8042 (parameter) [1] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice f2 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] ab <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] 83 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] ed -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] 00 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] f3 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] 00 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] f4 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [1] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [1] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0 d4 -> i8042 (command) [2] f2 -> i8042 (parameter) [2] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [2] 00 <- i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [3] 60 -> i8042 (command) [3] 45 -> i8042 (parameter) [3] 60 -> i8042 (command) [3] 47 -> i8042 (parameter) [3] d4 -> i8042 (command) [3] f2 -> i8042 (parameter) [3] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [4] 60 -> i8042 (command) [4] 45 -> i8042 (parameter) [4] 60 -> i8042 (command) [4] 47 -> i8042 (parameter) [4] 00 <- i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [5] ... f3 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [6323] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [6323] 20 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [6323] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [6323] 2d <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10631] 10 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10669] ad <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10674] 90 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10692] 2f <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10737] af <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10760] 17 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10922] 97 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10945] 12 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [10998] 92 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11025] 13 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11317] 93 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11345] 1c <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11422] 9c <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11449] 31 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11672] b1 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11697] 18 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11704] 98 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11729] 2f <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11800] af <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11821] 12 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11842] 92 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11866] 27 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11951] a7 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [11969] 0e <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12061] 8e <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12089] 26 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12169] a6 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12187] 26 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12207] a6 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12227] 1c <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12428] 9c <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [12456] ... and a lot of other timeouts. If the device wouldn't work with Synaptics driver in other OS, I'd just claim the device to be broken behind hope and be done with this, but this makes me really wonder what they do differently. Are you aware of any means of i8042 debugging/sniffing facility in the other OS that could be used? :) Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
