Hello Colin,
today I got the usual messages in dmesg which witness that kernel bug
8740 is not yet fixed. Please add your patch to the tracker
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8740 and set it to CODE_FIX
as I have again to use i8042.nomux=1 to prevent these messages.

It is a very rare event but with i8042.nomux=1 it never happens, it has
happened because I removed i8042.nomux=1 when I sent you the below
message. The patch simply prevents me to set manually that kernel
parameter, which is an annoyance.
Thank you,

Hi Colin,
I have removed 'i8042.nomux=1' from my kernel command line (kernel
2.6.25-gentoo-r8) and the mouse glitches bug has not yet happened (last
time I had 2.6.22 or so).
I assume it has been fixed in previous releases, and got unnoticed. I
will reply again to this message if there is again necessity to use
i8042.nomux=1.
Thanks for your help, and sorry for the noise.
Best regards,

I also have a notebook, Maxdata Pro 7000X (Fujitsu clone), which has
such problem (needs i8042.nomux=1, perhaps kernel bug #8740).
Can we also use a patch for it?
Can you test the patch below and see if it fixes the problem?
