Hello, I installed OpenBSD 5.6 (-release) on my laptop, Acer Aspire E1-572. Everything works great as far as I can tell except for the touchpad. Judging by the dmesg output it is an Elantech Touchpad, version 3 using firmware 0x454f00. I didn't configure X. Using the touchpad results in very erratic behaviour i.e. the mouse jumps around/lags. The dmesg shows the message: "pms0: not in sync yet, discard input (state N)" N switching between 0 and 3 (see dmesg below). I tried looking for the point of failure myself. The function issuing the "not in sync yet" messages, void pmsinput(void *vsc, int data), is located at sys/dev/ pckbc/pms.c The only function in this source file calling pmsinput is pmsattach. pmsattach is included in this struct:
struct cfattach pms_ca = { sizeof(struct pms_softc), pmsprobe, pmsattach, NULL, pmsactivate }; I didn't come any further, nor am I sure if my assertions are really true or helpful. I have no experience or expertise with kernel source code. Kind regards dmesg output: OpenBSD 5.6 (GENERIC.MP) #333: Fri Aug 8 00:20:21 MDT 2014 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80<clock_battery> real mem = 3989565440 (3804MB) avail mem = 3874574336 (3695MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.7 @ 0xe7170 (26 entries) bios0: vendor Insyde Corp. version "V2.04" date 05/21/2013 bios0: Acer Aspire E1-572 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP UEFI FPDT ASF!
