everytime that I switch on my PC, the kworker takes more then 50% of my CPU and it doesn't stop until I press up and down the brightness of my monitor with the "special command" of my keyboard ("Fn + F6" or "Fn + F7") I see that editing the "/etc/default/grub" file's (I add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to the string in quotes of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX) the change does't appear on booting. I did "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg" AND NOW MY TOUCHPAD WORKS!

Hi, That is good news, can you please try removing i8042.notimeout, rerun grub2-mkconfig and see if things still work? Thanks, Hans I tried, but it doesn't work without. Hi Philip, (In reply to Philip from comment #4) > I tried, but it doesn't work without. Ok, thanks for trying, can you try to other way around, so keep i8042.notimeout and drop i8042.nomux ? The reason I'm asking is that we need to know which quirks your machine exactly needs before sending a kernel patch upstream to do this automatically on your machine. For this we also need to have the dmi strings of your machine (to match the quirks on them), can you also please run: sudo dmidecode > dmi.log And attach the generated dmi.log file here ? Thanks, Jans Created attachment 949929 [details]

(In reply to Philip from comment #6) > Created attachment 949929 [details] > philip Thanks. I've got another report for the lifebook AH544 here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69731 Which states that only adding notimeout is enough, can you confirm this ? Yes, I can confirm.

[PATCH] i8042: Add notimeout quirk for Fujitsu Lifebook A544 and Lifebook AH544
Thanks, I've send the patch which I've just attached upstream, this should make future kernels automatically do the right thing. Josh, can you please add this to the Fedora kernels (it should end up in stable eventually and then we can drop it again) ? Applied to F20-rawhide. Thanks! kernel-3.17.1-304.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.17.1-304.fc21 kernel-3.16.6-203.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.16.6-203.fc20 Package kernel-3.17.1-304.fc21: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
