psm0: failed to reset the aux device

[dknapp at calpoly.edu]

Touchpad isn't working - have tried all the options in mouse configuration 
in /stand/sysinstall...Did work once however....

I've done a boot -v 

psm0 says:
psm0: current command byte:0047
psm0: failed to reset the aux device

What does this mean, and is there any way to fix it?


I'm using a Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad

Is there a patch to make this work? Is it possible to manually reset the aux 
device?

I have a Compaq Presario 1220 laptop (Cyrix 200Mhz - woot!), and I can't seem 
to get the touchpad to work.  Trying with 4.7 RELEASE. Had same problem with 
5.0 RELEASE.

This is an initial configuration, so the machine has no working data - so any 
patches, changes, thoughts, rants, or shots in the dark would be greatly 
appreciated.
