I have a patch that should fix the psmouse unload thing (at the end). Not sure whether it's still needed in 2.6.20-rcX, there was some work done... it definitely helps on 2.6.18 and 2.6.16 kernels. Ok, I quickly tried on 2.6.20-rc7 and it seems to work without the patch. Maybe Dmitry can comment on that and push this one if still needed? It's quite difficult to get the overview over the HP problems, as there are several, some quite weird, and a lot different reports. I've found out that the psmouse thing really fixes things. and I got a lot reports that Alexeys patch (and the unregister_serio_drivers attached) fixes up things: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179702 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=234475 As this patch broke Linus' machine, I understand that Len is a bit anxious, but a lot people tested the reworked patch (it's currently in 10.2 and SLE10-SP1 SuSE branches), it would be great if Len can push it at least for the next kernel cycle... What is still broken, but patches are available, is fan state after suspend/resume. Thanks to Rafael, there is a list of patches that seem to help (including Alexey's and some others) here: http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/patches/2.6.20-rc5/ Most of them seem to come from: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534 and http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7122 Can someone give an overview about what is already submitted, what is going to be merged and where/when (-mm, rcX, 2.6.21-rc1, ...). All kind of comments/review/tests are very welcome... Some of the patches miss a comment... Thanks, Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Unregister serio drivers on shutdown From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx> Unproved theory: It seems that the Embedded Controller needs this at ACPI shutdown time: psmouse_set_state(psmouse, PSMOUSE_CMD_MODE); psmouse_set_state(psmouse, PSMOUSE_IGNORE); done in psmouse_disconnect in psmouse module. If this is not done on shutdown it leads to very strange BIOS/EC behaviour on latest HP laptops which even survives a reboot (cpufreq cannot reach max freq, BIOS takes long to boot, etc.). Then the fixed kernel needs to be booted twice, that machine reaches max freq and behaves normal again.
