Unknown ALPS device

Unknown ALPS device

Hi,

I have an IBM Thinkpad T61 laptop and dmesg shows me this:
psmouse serio2: alps: Unknown ALPS touchpad: E7=10 00 64, EC=10 00 64

Now the touchpad works, but this message sounds like it'd make sense to
add it to the table in alps.c (?).

I'd gladly assist if this would improve anything.

cu,

What kernel are you running? My ALPS device is identified correctly
and seems to work on 3.13 (IIRC, it also worked with 3.12 but not
before).

There's also this (I didn't write it, just modified it to work with
lesser kernel versions - linking to this version because i know where
it is off hand):

3.13 also here.

Just to make it clear: The device works. It just shows me a message
that I'd consider a warning that the device is "Unknown" and it might
be better (support more features?) if the kernel new about it and
wouldn't consider it unknown.

Hi Hanno,

I checked touchpad driver of ThinkPad T61 on Lenovo's website and
found it seems use Synaptics's device.
Maybe that's why ALPS kernel driver could not recognize it correctly.
