touching would indeed produce tons of noise. thats why i suggested you
press a button in an attept to produce a single packet response. but
i have no idea what your computer is like. there might not even be
physical buttons anymore.

your suspicion that it is in the wrong mode is plausible... the pc
mouse driver is not aware of any synaptic protocols. why the bios
set it to non-ps2 emulation mode is the question.

yes, i8042auxcmd() sends a raw byte to the mouse.

no, there is no driver to write the aux port from userspace,
tho you could make one with addarchfile() and writing a functions.

nusb/ether supports some chips as well as generic usb ethernet devices,
but i cannot guarantee if they will work. no real ethernet sucks, as
this also means it will be impossible to pxe boot this machine (very
convenient for writing drivers).

good luck.
