I still cannot have my synaptics touchpad to work with test9. This is
on a Compaq Presario 1694.

The i8042 driver does not recognize my PS/2 AUX port unless I comment
out the bit assignment tests in i8042.c/i8042_check_aux (), line 655
and following.

When I comment out this section, the AUX port is detected (see
attachment 1)

Then, when I insert the psmouse module (with support for synaptics
touchpads), the touchpad cannot be initialized. This used to pass with
test6. Then, the touchpad behaves like in PS/2 mode, that is,
erratically (jumps from one side of the screen to the other at the
slightest touch) [The logs are in attachment 2]

Third situation: psmouse with noext=1. The device is detected, but
acts as jumpily as previously [attach. 3]

I guess having the synaptics being undetected is the least problem,
the two main issues are with the port not being discovered by default,
and the touchpad moving my pointer frantically... Any hints on how to
fix that ?
