I guess there is a difference as to what you call controlling. You probably mean that in Windows is is easier to navigate GUI with keyboard whereas I mean that in Linux or Unix you just start a terminal program and do all necessary setup from within it (with keyboard ;) )

Well, it was just a thing to try. On some boxes interrupt mode of EC was reported to hurt mice, while on others there was no effect or even was an improvement.

Hmm, don't see anything bad happening here.. Could you please send me your /var/log/messages (still after booting with i8042.debug=1 log_buf_len=131072)? You should probably spare other people's mailboxes and send it to me directly... Or put it on FTP somewhere.
