+* The driver says "reset failed" and the touchpad doesn't work. What
+ can I do?
+
+ This problem has been reported for some Compaq models. It's
+ currently not known why it happens, but removing the reset command
+ from the driver appears to make it work. If you use a 2.4 linux
+ kernel, replace the contents of the ps2_synaptics_reset() function
+ in ps2comm.c with a "return TRUE;" statement. If you use a 2.6
+ linux kernel, remove the while loop in synaptics_query_hardware()
+ in the file drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c in the linux kernel
+ source code.
