Hi,

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem since upgrading to 2.6.12.
What I see in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0 corresponds to the
output you posted.

I also see this if I compile the psmouse driver with the patch applied.
Exactly like in your case, if I compile the psmouse driver without the
patch, everything works, but of course I can't fine-tune things like
speed and sensitivity.

Perhaps we should ask Stephen Evanchik for help?

Regards,

Nils
