Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] Alps HID I2C T4 device support
Dear Masaki,
Thanks! I think I figured out the problem - it was on my side.
After I installed your patch, I ran "make localmodconfig". However, I
think prior to your patch my touchpad was handled by hid_generic - so
hid_alps was not loaded and the patched module thus never
build. However, your patch still prevented hid_generic from taking
control of the touchpad. After I explicitly enabled the hid_alps module,
my touchpad is now working again and, thanks to your patch, can now also
be configured.
Thanks again! Feel free to add a:
Tested-By: Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@...h.org
Best,
-Nikolaus
