 Based on testing with  C1 or MP units running 665 or 1409 if you hold down
 either the game button, directional pad or reverse screen button in
 combination in triggering the pen tablet the mouse is either stuck or the
 system appears to be hung.

 Based on kernel message the last useful message is
 "drivers/input/mouse/olpc.c: Failed to reenable absolute mode."

 Based on discussions with MS they indicate they are receiving garbage from
 the PS2 interface and have to now been unable to see any viable software
 workaround.

 Bug #5528 maybe similar because the current thinking that the there is a
 race condition between the key/button mentioned above and PS2 commands.

 I have attached two dmesg logs.  Syslog2 is from a C1 system and Syslog3
 is from a MP unit.
