[opensuse] bcm43xx driver interferes with touchpad mouse
I have a Compaq Presario V5000 laptop with a Broadcom BCM4318 wireless chipset. With 10.1 I used ndiswrapper and the Windows bcml5.sys driver and had no touchpad problems. After installing 10.3 and the bcm43xx driver module with the appropriate bcm43xx firmware files, I have very erratic, jerky and often non-responsive touchpad mouse behavior. The logfile is full of messages like: Jan 17 09:07:31 lt1 kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4 Jan 17 09:07:31 lt1 kernel: psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request Jan 17 09:07:34 lt1 kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 13 channels starting with channel 1 The SoftMAC messages are from the bcm43xx module. The problem occurs even when using a wired ethernet connection and no active wifi connection. Experimenting a bit, I found that removing and reloading the bcm43xx module fixes the problem, leading me to suspect interrupt sharing conflict or something similar. Looking at /proc/interrupts doesn't give me a clue, since the touchpad should be using either irq1 or 12, and the wifi uses irq 21: CPU0 0: 189860 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 622 IO-APIC-edge i8042 8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 109518 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 21527 IO-APIC-edge libata 15: 25752 IO-APIC-edge libata 16: 433 IO-APIC-fasteoi ATI IXP Modem, ATI IXP 18: 2 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb1, ehci_hcd:usb2, ohci_hcd:usb3 19: 19850 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 21: 28041 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi, bcm43xx NMI: 0 LOC: 150095 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 Anyone seen this problem or have any suggestions on where to look?
