Subject: Re: synaptics: PS/2 touchpad isn't detected if a keyboard key is held down on boot
Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:01:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABWXVkMUFdRKNm76Vc3oJ+Ef9M_MS1xU2TKh=rdyv-t9Cq5V1w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

psmouse module is not loaded when I hold down a key on boot (when
GRUB2 says "loading vmlinuz"), and, in its turn, the PS/2 touchpad
doesn't work. Latest mainline kernel, latest stable one and probably
many older ones. I guess i8042's buffer gets full and that confuses
drivers somehow.
