Just for fun please plug an external mouse in it and you will be surprised (If it does not have external PS/2 ports you need to get a hold of a docking station). > In this case, ACPI reported that only two ports (KBD, one of the > AUX == touchpad) are wired. Ergo "too many". If I go by this logic I have to immediately pull external mouse from my Compaq becauase (oh horror!) it is not mentioned in ACPI and surely it is illusion that it is working. Seriously, ACPI does not care about number of AUX ports present. They share the same IRQ and the same IO ports and so look the same to ACPI. There is not a single box that I have seen that has a special DSDT because its i8042 supports active multiplexing mode. Also, I would not trust keyboard/mouse data it DSDT - in many cases they report either wrong ports or forget about IRQ, etc. If you look in i8042 you will see that most of PNP code deals with recovering from bad data provided to it. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
