I'm using SL5.3 on DELL XPS 1530 laptop that comes with ALPS touchpad.
Touching it brings disastrous uncontrolled things to happen on the screen
.
The fix is known: boot command should be augmented by adding
"i8042.nomux=1". That works if I add it into the grub.conf, but only at
 the
initial boot. Problems reemerge when waking up from suspend or hibernate.


Whoever is responsible: for god's sake, please fix the kernel accordingly
.

Many thanks in advance !!
