Hmm... google/linux lists this as the first entry in a search for 2.6.16 |
| 13 |
atkbd, the -r1 shortlog (as posted on LWN, this is an excerpt of the |
| 14 |
entries for this single guy): |

Dmitry Torokhov: |

Input: i8042 - disable MUX mode for Sharp MM20 |
| 18 |
Input: i8042 - convert to the new platform device interface |
| 19 |
Input: atkbd - don't lose keymap settings when reconnecting keyboard |
| 20 |
Input: HID - fix an oops in PID initialization code |
| 21 |
Input: HID - add more simulation usages |
| 22 |
|

The i8042 is a dependency activated by atkbd, and of course the whole |
| 24 |
thing is part of the Human Interface Driver interface, so there's a very |
| 25 |
good chance one of those entries is the culprit. |
