Comment(by sunrise1):

 Fixed by svn 979. A couple of interesting things were happening. First,
 sometimes when the mouse driver tried to identify the device during the
 initial open, it would get a "resend" response instead of an ack. That was
 confusing the identify routine. The solution is to honor the resend
 request and re-issue the command. Second, if you ran "test /mouse",
 [http://www.tagnice.com  nike air yeezy shoes]then stopped it, then ran
 your finger over the touchpad, then ran "test /mouse" again, the second
 try would fail due to characters being queued up in the EC and confusing
 the identify response. When the first problem was fixed, the second
 problem manifested differently, as long (10 seconds) delays when trying to
 run "test /mouse" again. The fix for that is to turn off mouse streaming
 in the close routine, so the mouse doesn't send when it's not in use.
