Comment 24 for bug 374459

Hi,

well it's very confusing to me what actually has happened.
-------------------
TP=Touchpad
TPL= Touchpadbutton's LED aka Touchpad lock

1.)
TPbutton working, TPL off
output: events

2.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL on.
output: none

3.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL off.
output: none

4.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL on
modprobe -r psmouse; modprobe psmouse
output: events - on x the TP wouldn't work now

5.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL off.
output: events - on x the TP starts operating as the lock is gone

6.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL on.
output: none.

7.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL off.
modprobe...
output: events

8.)
TPbutton pressed. TPL on
output: none

Seems pretty much like a hardware lock to me, but why do I see events after reloading psmouse when the TP should be locked (#4)? On the other hand, if it were a software issue, why does it handle it correctly on step 4 to 5 in X?

Hope I got all combinations.

If you need more info, just tell me. Also, there is a full Xorg.0.log on launchpad.

Regards and thanks for helping.
