Re: [PATCH 24/44] Workaround i8042 chips with broken MUX mode

Hi.

So far on every machine I've got a report from it was caused by BIOS
emulation of PS/2 mouse using an USB mouse (even when USB mouse wasn't
present). Compiling the USB modules into the kernel fixes the problem.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that my x86-64 kernel nukes
on startup if USB keyboard/mouse emul is enabled in the BIOS?

This is on an ASUS K8T800 and an MSI K8T800 board.

If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll give more info of course.
