I think you missed the point. I'm talking about
http://www.reactos.com/wiki/index.php/Known_Problems

When calling things "known problems" I want bugs for them.  I'm going
to assume you are talking about this known problem:

http://www.reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=688

Which was even noted on the 0.2.7 changelog page:

http://www.reactos.com/wiki/index.php/ChangeLog-0.2.7#Known_Bugs

PLEASE, if you write ANYWHERE that ReactOS has a "known bug" please
provide a link to the bug in bugzilla.

If there is no bug in BugZilla, then there is a great possibility the
Testing team doesn't know about it.  By filing bugs, we can reduce the
amount of duplicate effort required to fix said bug.

When filing bugs, please review
http://www.reactos.com/wiki/index.php/File_Bugs first.

With that out of the way, I know that noone has looked at that bug
since 0.2.7 was released.  If you can gather any useful info about the
hardware (the i8042 controller specifically) that you are
experienceing the problem with, update the bug, this may help with
getting it resolved.

PS. I'm very tempted to make the "Know Problems" page go away, or
heavily modify it.
