PS/2 touchpad issues

(please CC your answers to me, thanks)

I still cannot have my synaptics touchpad to work with test9. This is on a Compaq Presario 1694.

The i8042 driver does not recognize my PS/2 AUX port unless I comment out the bit assignment tests in i8042.c/i8042_check_aux (), line 655 and following.

When I comment out this section, the AUX port is detected (see attachment 1)

Then, when I insert the psmouse module (with support for synaptics touchpads), the touchpad cannot be initialized. This used to pass with test6. Then, the touchpad behaves like in PS/2 mode, that is, erratically (jumps from one side of the screen to the other at the slightest touch) [The logs are in attachment 2]

Third situation: psmouse with noext=1. The device is detected, but acts as jumpily as previously [attach. 3]

I guess having the synaptics being undetected is the least problem, the two main issues are with the port not being discovered by default, and the touchpad moving my pointer frantically... Any hints on how to fix that ?
