Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] xen,input: repair xen-kbdfront resolution setting
 via xenstore

Hi, Juergen,

could you please make one more patch in the series:

the code that you fix in this patch is ok, but most

of the functionality of the xenkbd_set_connected

is still useless: feature-abs-pointer/request-abs-pointer

negotiation has only meaning at probe time, when we are

configuring input device:

     if (abs) {
         __set_bit(EV_ABS, ptr->evbit);
         input_set_abs_params(ptr, ABS_X, 0, XENFB_WIDTH, 0, 0);
         input_set_abs_params(ptr, ABS_Y, 0, XENFB_HEIGHT, 0, 0);
     } else {
         input_set_capability(ptr, EV_REL, REL_X);
         input_set_capability(ptr, EV_REL, REL_Y);
     }
Once the input device is configured and registered (probe done)

we do not touch/re-configure that input device anymore,

regardless of the setting negotiation at xenkbd_set_connected

time. Thus, this code is not needed and can be cleaned out.

What your patch actually fixes is the fact that

"xenbus_switch_state(dev, XenbusStateConnected);" was not called,

so this is the only line needed.

Thank you,

Oleksandr
