Description Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-18 08:10:26 UTC
Description of problem:
The key for block/unlock touchpad is not set(HAL,ACPI,setkeycodes), but when i press it, it blocks the touchpad, and i require to suspend, then it back to works.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.press Touchpad button 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Additional info:

so, it's impossible the button works by itself...

tailf -f /var/log/messages
....

two first lines... 
i press the button of touchpad, who are not set, nothing on lshal -m, acpi_listen, udevadm monitor, tailf -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log either messages...

nothing of nothing, but third line said it found a touchpad... so if the button is not doing anything how when i press it, it disable the touchpad?...

Comment 6 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-20 16:10:23 UTC
And does adding "i8042.nomux=1" to the kernel boot options fix it, as suggested in the upstream kernel bug?

Comment 7 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-20 18:02:05 UTC
well, i found a patch from Kernel to i8042

Comment 8 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-20 18:23:15 UTC
yes, it works, almost 2 suspend tested...  but it have time delays some times, and i detect something, if we have a finger on the touchpad it doesn't unlock it... 


well, about the /var/log/messages, i get:

Comment 9 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-20 18:27:01 UTC
why this are managed by the driver? this could have a lock/unlock function into input.h (kernel keycodes)...

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 10:02:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 11 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-11-19 02:52:04 UTC
This is managed by a kernel driver, i8042
i resolv this using "i8042.nomux=1" at kernel boot line.

But this should be fixed by default, with no interaction of the users... because i have to search a lot to get it working, lot of options.

This could be managed by the kernel keycodes, or something what can be managed by the user

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:40:10 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)
