This wiki entry contains tips & tricks for enhancing the abilities of Lenovo 3000 C200 on Pardus.
Touchpad
Michael Austin reported[1] on our bugzilla that the touchpad device on this laptop keeps losing sync causing the system to freeze for a while. The following lines appears on dmesg output during the freeze:
psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1
Based on Michael's experiences, booting with an additional kernel parameter i8042.noloop seems to fix the problem. You can easily add this parameter to your kernel command line using boot-manager. An alternative way is to manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and append the parameter to the current kernel's command line:
.. timeout 8 title Pardus 2008.1 Hyaena hyaena [2.6.25.20-113] root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.25.20-113 root=LABEL=PARDUS_ROOT vga=791 splash=silent quiet mudur=debug i8042.noloop initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.25.20-113
The solution above applies to Pardus 2008.x
