I think KT forgets to add an empty line between patch subject and body when
committing to their tree.

[KT]: Do you mean psmouse-base driver will do set_rate(psmouse, 0x64) and
set_resolution(psmouse, 200) after mouse reset?

This "special" mode is simply the basic PS/2 mode, right? And the issue is
that this firmware version does not really support absolute mode, at least
not in the form that current driver supports?

If it is really basic PS/2 mode you can simply return "false" from
elantech_init() and we'll reset the mouse and try the basic protocols in
psmouse-base.

[KT]: The patch was created for a specific project two years ago from former
engineer who has resigned.
I have the same question why he mark "absolute mode" and force "relative
mode" command .

I guess there is one reason why he did it.
Maybe the specific FW is default to absolute mode for some reason at first
and I will check FW code later.
I will modify and re-send the patch after I confirm other uncertain issue .

Thanks   KT

Thanks.
