--- Comment #18 from Lawrence Steeger
I see. So Microsoft is emulating broken hardware :) I think that the option for you is to boot with the i8042.noloop kernel parameter, I don't think we should put work-arounds for software-emulated hardware into linux kernel, if this is OK by you.
Glenn, what is the hardware you are seeing this behavior on, please?
Thanks.
I disagree. Would a hardware manufacturer's faulty hardware be penalized too? ;) Microsoft Virtual PC and Virtual Server have started to support SUSE by providing editions of their Virtual Machine Additions add on for non-Microsoft operating systems. They currently support SUSE 10.2. SUSE 10.3 and any other distribution using the more current kernels with this bug, will likely not be supported by Microsoft. See: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=bf12642f-77dc-4d45-ae4e-e1b05e0a2674&displaylang=en&tm Also, since the recent implementation of moving what was previously 'userspace' code for mouse support into the kernel, I for see that more of these types of problems will have to be to be addressed in 'kernelspace', whether we like it or not. I hope this will be fixed in a future kernel update. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
