But, the DSDT includes the “mouse device”. From
acpidump > dump.bin; acpixtract dump.bin; iasl -d *dat; more dsdt.dsl
we get
Device (PS2M)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0F03") /* Microsoft PS/2-style Mouse */) // _HID: Hardware ID
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0F13") /* PS/2 Mouse */) // _CID: Compatible ID
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status
{
If ((IOST & 0x4000))
{
Return (0x0F)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}
}
and the identifiers PNP0F03 and PNP0F13 are both listed in the array
`pnp_aux_devids[]`. But adding print statements to `i8042_pnp_aux_probe()`,
I do not see them, so the function does not seem to be called.
My guess is that _STA returns 0 indicating that the device is not
present. I would try tracking where IOST is being set and figuring out
why it does not have mouse bit enabled.
Does the ACPI subsystem allow to track, how ACPI variables(?) like IOST
are read and set?
Kind regards,
Paul
