[PROBLEM] 2.6.2-rc1-bk1 Synaptics touchpad on IBM T30 not detected

[Juergen Stuber]

Hi,

the touchpad works fine in 2.6.2-rc1 with the Synaptics XFree86 driver,
it isn't detected and doesn't show up in /proc/bus/input/devices
for 2.6.2-rc1-bk1 and later, psmouse is loaded in all cases.

The machine is an IBM Thinkpad T30 (2366-085G) with stick & touchpad,
both are set on automatic in the BIOS.

For 2.6.2-rc1 I see

For 2.6.2-rc1-bk1 I see

Feb  3 20:34:12 freitag kernel: i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 10.12.

Feb  3 20:34:12 freitag kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

and later, supposedly when psmouse is loaded, 4 times

Feb  3 20:34:12 freitag kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
Feb  3 20:34:12 freitag kernel: atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly.


Unloading psmouse kills the keyboard and produces four ß (0xdf)
and 8 unknown-key-messages.
Then loading the module produces another four 0xdf
and 4 unknown-key-messages and the keyboard works normally again.
