Re: kern/60043: ACPI suspend does not work properly with ps/2 keyboard and track-pad



I found something interesting...

Googling you find some articles or blogs a bit older that states things about PMS_DISABLE_POWERHOOK option.

This options in the NetBSD kernel is a configuration option used to modify how the PS/2 mouse driver (pms(4)) handles power management events, specifically preventing reset of the touch-pad or mouse upon resuming from suspend.

Unsure if it can help our case, I wanted to try.
To do so you need to compile a personalized kernel.

So I took the steps, removing the comment to the options PMS_DISABLE_POWERHOOK line and ran config.
And here's what I get...

MYKERNEL:438: warning: obsolete option `PMS_DISABLE_POWERHOOK' will be ignored

Well... that's interesting, so no way to try and test some alternative solution.

If I read and understand correctly all I could gather,
-this option is now obsolete, does it mean the kernel code has been modified enough so that it just (supposedly) work?
-if so, doesn't our issue shows that the reset of ps/2 bus and all that's connected to it upon resuming from suspend actually doesn't work?

There may be something else at play, like the need to add a few more commands to /etc/powerd/scripts/lid_switch.

Is there anyone that can help? Do not hesitate to ask for logs, outputs or anything that could help.
