[gentoo-user] erratic touchpad

2006-06-17 Thread marco restelli 

Hallo!
   I'm trying to install Gentoo on an hp dv5000us, amd64.
Everything works fine, but the touchpad.
Indeed I have all the advanced features working: double click,
scroll ... but using the touchpad when the CPU load is hight
the mouse starts jumping around and clicking everywhere.

I followed the instructions in
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad
with the following configuration:
kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r5
synaptics-0.14.4-r2
evdev and psmouse compiled as modules, loaded in /etc/conf.d/local.start
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7

The output of dsmesg:
...

I see two problems in your dmesg output:


warning: many lost ticks.
Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts
rip __do_softirq+0x45/0xc9


Take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt,
particularly the clock= option.  clock=pmtmr might be the best option
here...although I'm not sure it applies to amd64.


input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input1
APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)


Booting with noapic (again, see kernel-parameters.txt) should help.
It might also clear up the time issue above.

Hi Richard,
 thank you for the suggustions, but it does not work.
Those two errors are still present, for whatever choice
of the clock option :-(

Hmm, darn.  It still looks to me like a problem with your interrupt
controller.  Unfortunately I don't know your hardware well enough to
advise any further.  You might try the gentoo-amd64 list.

Hi list,
upgrading to the 2.6.16 kernel solved the problem :-)

Best
