9.1 has the abovementioned patch in, and that's the reason why it works. > Example when it DOES work (SuSE 9.1 kernel): > > i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.1. > serio: i8042 AUX0 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 AUX1 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 AUX2 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (raw set 0, code 0x17e on isa0060/serio3). > atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 7e <keycode>' to make it known. > serio: i8042 AUX3 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio4 > serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 > input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 > > Example when it DOES NOT work (recent 2.6.9-rc1): > > i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.9. > serio: i8042 AUX0 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 AUX1 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 AUX2 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 AUX3 port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 > serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 > input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 > > Not only does it not discover the touchpad ... it also changes its > mind about what rev multiplexor it's got!!
