Hi,

A web search suggests that the following will compensate for the hardware
issues you are experiencing
I do not have your hardware and therefore cannot test.....
edit /etc/default/grub and add parameters for i8042
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
then run
$ sudo update-grub
and reboot
When done correctly they will show on the kernel command line
$cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-?.??.???? root=/dev/???? ro quiet splash i8042.notimeout
i8042.nomux
this worked smooth as butter! I get no more errors in dmesg and the
touchpad works!
Now that you gave me the hint, this appears like a very old bug never
solved and so the solution is still current. Scary.
curious if both options were needed. Only nomux is not enough, while
notimeout is enough to have a working pointer!
This leave space for solving other important issues on this laptop, but
that in separate threads.
Regards,
Riccardo
