Package: linux-image-2.6-vserver-powerpc Version: 2.6.26-13 Followup-For: Bug #465278
After upgrading from Etch to Lenny, I started to get exactly the same problem than what Cyril Brulebois experienced. The laptop I am using is the latest iBook G4. The error message I get when I try to add again the appletouch module is almost identical to this: | Feb 11 17:04:52 evy kernel: drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.c: Could not do mode read request from device (Geyser Raw mode) | Feb 11 17:04:52 evy kernel: appletouch: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -12 | Feb 11 17:04:52 evy kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver appletouch except that in my case, I get the error -5 instead of -12: [45692.025239] appletouch: Could not do mode read request from device (Geyser Raw mode) [45692.025289] appletouch: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -5 [45692.025347] usbcore: registered new interface driver appletouch Just to make things very clear, I don't think that this bug is the same than the one where removing and adding again the appletouch module is enough to make the mouse working again. The later bug appears quite infrequently, and usually the mouse is still able to move (even if in an unusable fashion). Also, from memory the error messages were very different. In the current bug, the mouse don't react anymore even in the text console and seems to happens systematically once the laptop goes to suspend mode. Also, it seems that the only way to make it working again is by rebooting the laptop. Some people have mentioned that the problem could be in the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and not in the kernel. Unless he was talking about the other mouse bug, I am sceptical about it and will try to reproduce the bug without running the X server at all during the boot process and report the result once I have time.
