udev: block usbhid to autobind mouse device before appletouch

udev: block usbhid to autobind mouse device before appletouch

[Thomas Meyer]

I've got a problem with my shiny new macbook. the touchpad has two drivers that feel themself responsible for this device: usbhid and appletouch. but my usb subsystem is completely modular, so it happens that sometimes the touchpad device is on bus 1-2:1.1 and sometimes the device is on bus 2-2:1.1. so my quick and dirty solution in /etc/conf.d/local.start:
"echo -n 1-2:1.1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind
echo -n 1-2:1.1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/appletouch/bind"

only works sometimes. the second problem is, that my current x server configuration need the synaptics driver to work. and if /etc/conf.d/local.start fails to unbind the usbhid driver and bind the appletouch driver, the /etc/init.d/xdm fails, too.

look for modalis of your device and add to modprobe.conf

alias $modalias appletouch

like

alias pcmcia:m0156c0002f06fn00pfn00paB4585A1Apb0B537C13pcD27DEB1Apd00000000 
wlags49_h1_cs

I did add the alias to /etc/modprobe.conf. but the usbhid driver still 
sometimes is the first driver how claims the touchpad device, instead of 
the appletouch driver.
any ideas?

With kind regards
