Hello, I'm new to BSD and am trying to instal NetBSD (6.1 amd64) on a laptop, but if the touchpad is pressed (console or X session), both the keyboard and touchpad stop responding.
A USB keyboard and mouse connected work fine. The touchpad appears to be detected correctly (dmesg output): pms0 at pckbc1 (aux slot) pms0: Synaptics touchpad version 7.2 pms0:Palm detect pckbc1: using irq 12 for aux slot wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0 I'm using the GENERIC kernel, which appears to enable support for touchpads by default: # Console Devices # wscons pckbc0 at isa? # pc keyboard controller pckbd* at pckbc? # PC keyboard pms* at pckbc? # PS/2 mouse for wsmouse #options PMS_DISABLE_POWERHOOK # Disable PS/2 reset on resume options PMS_SYNAPTICS_TOUCHPAD # Enable support for Synaptics Touchpads options PMS_ELANTECH_TOUCHPAD # Enable support for Elantech Touchpads vga* at pci? dev ? function ? genfb* at pci? dev ? function ? options VCONS_DRAW_INTR wsdisplay* at vga? console ? wsdisplay* at wsemuldisplaydev? wskbd* at pckbd? console ? wsmouse* at pms? mux 0 Was wondering if the touchpad is sending malformed packets and this pms feature is being triggered (from manpage): "The pms driver has been updated to attempt to renegotiate mouse protocol after seeing suspicious or defective mouse protocol packets, or unusual delays in the middle of a packet; this should improve the chances that a mouse will recover after being switched away or reset (for instance, by a console switch)." Any help greatly appreciated. Graham
