I'm setting it to PSMOUSE_IMEX, that's just below PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS:
#define PSMOUSE_PS2 1 #define PSMOUSE_PS2PP 2 #define PSMOUSE_PS2TPP 3 #define PSMOUSE_GENPS 4 #define PSMOUSE_IMPS 5 #define PSMOUSE_IMEX 6 #define PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS 7
That should turn off just synaptics, no?
Okay, so how to do this properly? Synaptics driver with "mouse emulation" is not usable (tap-to-click is critical), and I want to be able to boot 2.4...
