Fellow PLUGgers,
(I'm reposting this message that I also sent to the LKML just in case.
I'm just attaching dmesg, not the config to be within the message size
limit of the mailing list.)
I have an Asus L4500R (L4R) laptop and am using the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1
with manual patches to upgrade asus_acpi.c to v0.29 and to fix the
trivial ALSA atiixp.c bug[1]. I am using Debian Sid with XFree86 4.3.0
and compiled the kernel with GCC 3.3.4.
I am having problems getting my TouchPad to work with Linux. I know the
hardware isn't broken: it works as advertised with the bundled Microsoft
Windows XP Home (which, of course, I do not want to use). Linux detects
my mouse "properly" as a generic ImPS/2, which it supposedly is
according to another L4500R owner[2], from dmesg:
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio4
I noticed that everytime I try to use the TouchPad (eg: use my fingers
to try to move the pointer using the TouchPad), the kernel spits out
some errors lke these:
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1
bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3
bytes away.
And so on. The number of bytes thrown away varies. I have not observed a
pattern. Interestingly, I used the external PS/2 port at the back. Again
Linux detected this nicely as an ImPS/2 variant:
input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio3
Unfortunately, I get similar (non-)results:
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio3/input0 lost synchronization, throwing
2 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1
bytes away.
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio3/input0 lost synchronization, throwing
2 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3
bytes away.
I have tried using the Synaptics XFree86 driver as an alternative to
accessing the device as a generic ImPS/2, to no avail. Thankfully, my
USB mouse works like a charm.
For whatever it's worth, Knoppix 2.6 2004-08-16 can't get my TouchPad to
operate properly, either, using both kernel 2.4.27 and 2.6.7.
I am attaching more complete dmesg information as well as the
configuration I used to build my 2.6.8.1 kernel, in the hopes that
someone can help me figure out what's wrong, or maybe that I can help
lead developers to fix a bug, if one exists, or whatever's at the root
of this compatibility problem.
Thank you very much for your time.
--> Jijo
