[touchpad][patch] Touchpad keep sending extended packets after a shutdown

[oco]

Warning : Touchpad support should be enabled in the source tree to reproduce this problem.

When rebooting from Haiku to BeOS, the mouse cursor is not moved correctly.

The touchpad driver should send again standard ps2 packet when leaving.

This is the purpose of the attached patch.

Note : it will become usefull only after resolving the TODO in src/system/kernel/shutdown.c (close all services before leaving).

Tested using this command line :

kill <id_AppServer> <id_InputServer>; shutdown -r

Thanks! Committed in hrev29920. I keep the bug open, because the actual symtoms are not yet fixed, as long as input drivers are not closed on shutdown.

Wouldn't that hypothetically prevent being able to click the Restart button if you pick shutdown instead of restart from Deskbar by mistake?

[stippi]

Thanks, seems like you got all points just fine! :-D To Rene: That's just the point. The new patch does not stop services unless you actually reboot. So when you attempted to shutdown, input_server will still be running and you can press the Reboot button.

Applied in hrev29948.
