Of course, R8723AU could select USB rather than depending on it, but that does not seem quite right. I don't know if it will fix the problem, but Linus has spoken (written) against selecting subsystems, like INPUT or USB. Does changing ACPI_CMPC to depend on INPUT instead of select INPUT help? and/or changing MOUSE_APPLETOUCH to depend on USB instead of select it? -- ~Randy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
