[gpm]Touchpads

[Peter Berg Larsen]

Hi,

I am sitting with a dell laptop which have a synaptics touchpads and a
mouse stick. With those I have some problems with. 


A)  If I use the drivertype synps2 and quits gpm, the touchpad is still in
absolute mode, which means that a normal ps2 protocol would fail bad. A
reset or set default command is needed to set the touchpad back to ps2
protocol. I would suggest that every driver have an additional
functioncall that reset that device to normal state (if it has one),
which is called when gpm stops.

B) When using the synps2 driver my mouse stick on the keyboards stop
working, unless it is the first mouse I touches. If so it generates
spouries data, that changes format at every boot. Both mice is using
/dev/psaux. Why does not respond to a touch after setting the touchpad
into absolute mode (not even a single byte on psaux)? Secondly how would I
tell gpm that there are two different mice/protocols on the same device?
