I'm CCing a few ChromeOS people to try and find out any relevant history for the touchpad NVRAM settings on Venice2. Perhaps this is simply something that wasn't noticed because the driver used to initialize this configuration bit, so nobody realized the config in NVRAM was wrong. > Where did you get the configuration file ? It is possible that we rely too much on mxt_start to turn on the T9.CTRL bit and have neglected its setting in the config file.

However, as such as I do a "physical" click (push the touchpad down), all kinds of click stop working.

After this, subsequent "physical" clicks don't generate any more BTN_LEFT events (down or up) at all, and a USB mouse's BTN_LEFT events are ignored, I suppose since the system still thinks the touchpad's left button is being held down. > > Is this a driver bug (not generating the correct BTN_LEFT events), or some other touchpad HW/NVRAM configuration problem? -- 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/
