Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Fix formatting of my pending issues list:

  * olpc-kbdshim should either detect the device, or ignore it. Recent
 discussion about ebook mode seemed to imply that we didn't really need to
 rotate touchpad input, and that we'd silence or redirect tp input to
 /dev/null when in ebook mode.
  * better resume on touchpad stroke
  * #8901 - my naive speculation is that the protocol uses more data
 traffic than vanilla PS/2 and the EC isn't keeping up. We've had a similar
 issue with MPPT keeping the EC busy...

 WRT input rotation, we have no use case for rotated touchpad input -- we
 have use cases for rotated input in ebook mode only.

 I agree that we probably want olpc-kbdshim to still handle the data stream
 for power mgmt reasons and to silence the input when in ebook mode.
