What + can I do? + + This problem has been reported for some Compaq models. It's + currently not known why it happens, but removing the reset command + from the driver appears to make it work. If you use a 2.4 linux + kernel, replace the contents of the ps2_synaptics_reset() function + in ps2comm.c with a "return TRUE;" statement. If you use a 2.6 + linux kernel, remove the while loop in synaptics_query_hardware() + in the file drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c in the linux kernel + source code. + Authors ------- -- cgit v1.2.3
