I finally got around to trying this and I can report that it doesn't work, as 
you suspected.  The effect is the same as before: I get a few white dots 
followed by a lockup and black screen.  Thanks for providing this module, at

I am using grub2 and this config: "i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp 
i8042.noloop text"
