 To reproduce the problem, hold down on of the game keys and concurrently
 cause the touchpad to change modes by press and lifting a finger from on
 of the touchpad. This process must be done during the boot process.
 During boot an error message like "drivers/input/mouse/olpc.c: Mode switch
 to 2 failed! (-1) [4294938990]" will appear in the autoconfiguration
 message. I should not that I am running this on Q2D13 and Update.1 (691).
 In reviewing the log it appears as part of the mode switching between GS
 and PT mode 0xF2 commands are issued but in one case the data is returned
 prior to fa (ACK) which violated the PS/2 spec.

 I am attaching a snippet of the log.

 This might be one of the problems that MS is seeing when PS/2 devices
 hung.
