Hi all,

I "converted" a laptop from Windows 7 to Devuan and as a test, I
installed chimaera. The intel display should have no issues.
Install wasn't too easy due to the system having only WiFi and no
Optical drive - the WiFi needs firmware not included in the install media.
I used an USB stick with the full DVD, installed offline then found the
firmware on debian, copied over with an USB stick and things do work.

Partitioning was also very hard, but more about that in a separate thread.

What is really annoying is that X11 works but I have no touchpad. By
attaching an external mouse the cursor works.

In dmesg I get thousands of messages like this:
[255709.204049] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[255709.206127] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout

[255709.222021] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[255709.224043] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout

I suppose it is related... psmouse! I have no other dmesg data since it
went overflow.

lsusb lists nothing:

The optical mouse is my Trust mouse I attached.

whch makes me think that at least X11 attempts to use the TouchPad as a
Synaptics touchpad.

[   121.590] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[   121.590] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

but this maks me worry! and this one too:

[   121.539] (II) event1  - SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: device removed


Any suggestions? thanks a lot
