Hi Alan et. all

I'm not sure whether this is related to the ominous ps/2 mouse bug
you have been chasing, but this problem is 100% reproducible and
very annoying.

After upgrading my Asus A7V Bios from 1003 to 1005D, gpm no longer
receives any mouse events and the mouse doesn't work in text
consoles. Once I kill gpm and restart gpm -t ps2 the keyboard
locks up.

Logging in remotely and looking at dmesg revealed the following:

keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?
keyboard: unrecognized scancode (70) - ignored

If I don't kill and restart gpm, but start X, the mouse works
perfectly, but only in X.

Any ideas?

-Udo.
