IIRC ALPS touchpad hardware itself does not work with non-ALPS=20 trackpoint. Masaki, any comments? > >> If by trackstick you mean the red thingie, it is **not** working. > >=20 > > Ok. And it is working with your patch? >=20 > No, it isn't :( I expected... You just created franken-hardware. Looks like with your hack patch it is possible to make buttons working,=20 but I suspect that trackstick would. Maybe Masaki can provide more information about this fact if we can do=20 anything. Dmitry, what you as maintainer going to do with this problem? =2D-=20 Pali Roh=C3=A1r pali.rohar@gmail.com --nextPart2805962.aIrZirKADc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlmzp/YACgkQi/DJPQPkQ1LgUQCfdtxpIKguyy0VEbp/JnN1gl4s 7vQAn3E0L3V/r0miG3kA65z2/w6e8Cuz =ef5f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2805962.aIrZirKADc--
