No. The system is an HP laptop (zv6015) that has no PS/2 port.
I got the system up and running with a USB mouse and then discovered
that I could get the Synaptics Touchpad working by compiling the
kernel
with psmouse as a module and automating the module load/unload in
rc.local. On a clean boot with say the stock 1319 kernel, the
touchpad
is dead but the same kernel recompiled with psmouse as a module works
fine.
Are there any messages in dmesg? Have you put this in bugzilla if so
what bz#? If not please file a bug against the kernel and CC me in.
Rather than restarting can you try manipulating the psmouse via drvctl
on the stock kernel.
serioN may vary but you can do:
echo -n "psmouse" > /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio0/drvctl
Does that improve matters?
