      Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default · 68da1664
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices
      (such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the
      same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature
      properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are
      never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from
      one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken
      turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive.
      
      With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are
      internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with
      working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and
      who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the
      default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel
      option.  We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.
