drivers/input/serio/i8042.c right?

This is quite interesting, as there is only one function/macro, which seems to be messing up things -- I don't know much (hardly anything) aboout that hardwarestuff, but I'll have a look at i8042_command as soon as I find the time. At least it's a start...

It works, so this seems to be the exactly same issue. I only tested with the code before the point above, I'll do further testings at the weekend, but I'm quite optimistic, that you found the point of failure. Thanks!
