Now it works >perfectly.. I thought this was pretty weird so thats why I write this. If you hot-swap devices on the ADB bus, you need to reset and re-probe it. I added code for that (used by Powerbook sleep code) and it can theorically be triggered from userland by sending the ADB_RESET command to /dev/adb. I never tested this however, you'll have to write a (simple) command line tool for that. I'll try to find some time this week or next week to gather all those pending ADB patches, and upload the trackpad tool in a place that can be reached easily. I also have some other tools that I should make available once they are cleaned up like one for sending this reset command and another for configuration various Microspeed mouse options. Stay tuned, I think I'll be able to do that later this week or next week-end. -- Perso. e-mail: Work e-mail: BenH. Web : [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
