Bug#607242: [PATCH] psmouse: mitigate failing-mouse symptoms



This kernel mouse driver patch fixes it.  Also submitted upstream.

Keep a failing ps/2 mouse usable until you can replace it conveniently.

It's a filter on incoming packets that makes a simple attempt at 
recovering from dropped bytes.  Controlled by /sys/module/psmouse/parameters/filter
set it to 0 to effectively disable the patch.

Tested on AMD64, full coverage - syslog is a good argument for
replacing my mouse soon, but it's quirky not intolerable.

Hi, this is my first patch, I hope I got the procedures right, apologies in
advance if I goofed something.

Happy New Year and all,
Jim
