FreeLists / openbeos / [openbeos] Built-in PS/2 mousepad problems

["Jorge G. Mare (a.k.a. Koki)" <koki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy,

I have used Haiku on my laptop w/o major compatibility problems for a 
long time; most hardware worked w/o problems, including video, sound, 
network card, etc.
Unfortunately, since about three weeks ago, I started having problems 
with the built-in PS/2 mousepad: upon boot, the mouse would stop 
responding after a few seconds of movement; the rest of the system 
remained responsive. This mousepad had worked flawlessly in Haiku before 
(and still does in Windows and Ubuntu). Here is a full description of 
the problem:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1580

I am not sure exactly since which build the problem started, but it may 
be around r22617:
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku?rev=22617&view=rev

Marcus has responded to my bug report, but he seems to be puzzled by the 
content of the syslog that I provided: it seems as if the mouse is being 
disconnected and reconnected a lot of time (which is obviously not the 
case).
I was wondering if anybody else is seeing this particular problem in 
recent builds that could provide any additional information that may be 
useful for the devs to figure what is wrong.
BTW, the laptop is an HP Pavilion zv5400us.

Cheers,

Koki
