OFW trackpad test woes

[rihoward1 at gmail.com]

Mitch,

Just been testing q2e19a and the self test mode is still buggy. I am  
testing with a G1G1 laptop with Alps trackpad.
Seen several different things happen.

I ran the complete self test a couple of times by cold booting with  
the left rocker  held down.
1.) One time when it went into the mouse test phase as soon as I  
touched the right hand section of the touchpad it left the mouse test  
and went to the next test.

2.) When I ran test mouse from the ofw prompt the screen was left  
black until I hit enter a few times.

3.) Another problem is when you  run 'test mouse' from the ofw prompt  
the screen the following may occur:
"Pressure:    10
Touchpad protocol botched

mouse selftest failed.  Return code = -1
ok

Touchpad test. Both buttons clears screen.  Type a key to exit."

I can repeat number 3 just by running finger around trackpad while  
varying pressure.
