SubjectRe: Continue: psmouse.c - synaptics touchpad driver sync problem
Date
Dmitry: On synaptics page, I've seen that you've got tons of bugfixes for 
2.6.7 on http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/input/2_6_7. Do I need something from
there and is there a patch that contains all patches?


Sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to attach the new kernel log file in my
last mail. It is in the attachment, a log with the second patch you sent me.
The patch is installed in messages-noacpi and ACPI disabled.
-> Why is the trace now so small? Did you disable DEBUG in your patch?
...oh yes! Then I'll have to recompile and retry...


Also I deinstalled the Powermanagement and ACPI in kernel configuration, as
suggested by Pavlik. Result is:
No, it still does not work, problem No. 3/4 reproduced, the powermanagement is
not the problem (see messages-noacpi)!

System load does not have to be really high, so it happens quite often. This
is very disturbing, like in MacOS 15 years ago! (That was one of the main
reasons for me not to use Mac, besides the fact that an application could
crash the whole system!) I think we now have a multitasking OS, haven't
we?!? :-(

It is sometimes better, sometimes worse, but not really depending on system
load, it seems. Just a minute ago it was really bad. Strange.

No and yes. At home I have a wheel mouse, at work a normal PS/2 mouse, both
with diffrent keyboards and both with the same problem. I never successfully
used an external mouse since I upgraded to SuSE 9.1 (Kernel 2.6). I had no
problems with kernel 2.4 and the same hardware.

I see. I'll try the tool. In kernel 2.4, no addidional driver was necessary,
it always worked out of the box.

Isn't there an apt4rpm repository for SuSE 9.1 with these tools anywhere?
Obviously not in the repositories of my sources.list. :-(

Pavlik: You work for SuSE? If synaptics is so vital for a touchpad to work,
why aren't tools and driver installed and configured by SuSE 9.1 per default?
It is even not part of the distribution!?!

Yes, I had none of all six problems in 2.4.

For i8042.nomux, I check it again, just to be sure...
...yes, the external keyboard works, but not the external mouse

I don't really know how many daemons are polling. On the desktop, I run
kpowersave and I configured powersaving so that it should shotdown before
battery is ampty, so there must be a daemon polling. It's just configure with
normal KDE/YaST powersaving controls.
