Applied, thank you Eugeniy.

However for 2.6.32 I am looking for more generic solution,
could you please try the patch below (without yours applied)?

Thanks!

Hello,

I tried your patch and it does not fix the problem. I still need to add
i8042.noloop=1 to the kernel command line to be able to reenable the
touchpad. Also at this laptop touchpad is detected correctly, it only
stops working after disabling and reenabling (also once or twice it
stopped working even without pressing the disable button, this can be
related).

What chasis type do you see in the 'dmidecode' output on the affected 
system?

I really need to see dmesg with i8042.debug to see what is going on. The
patch should only help with initial AUX discovery at startup; Eugeniy
however only has trouble re-enabling the touchpad with special button.
