    Input: i8042 - enable MUX on Sony VAIO VGN-CS series to fix touchpad · 04bb1719
    Ondrej Zary authored
    The touch sensor buttons on Sony VAIO VGN-CS series laptops (e.g.
    VGN-CS31S) are a separate PS/2 device. As the MUX is disabled for all
    VAIO machines by the nomux blacklist, the data from touch sensor
    buttons and touchpad are combined. The protocol used by the buttons is
    probably similar to the touchpad protocol (both are Synaptics) so both
    devices get enabled. The controller combines the data, creating a mess
    which results in random button clicks, touchpad stopping working and
    lost sync error messages:

    psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1

    Add a new i8042_dmi_forcemux_table whitelist with VGN-CS.
    With MUX enabled, touch sensor buttons are detected as separate device
    (and left disabled as there's currently no driver), fixing all touchpad
    problems.
