First, is I made a mistake with the procedure(early post) i.g.
sudo /usr/bin/test-device trusted D4:9A:20:88:C7:48
forgot to add yes at the end.
(so rebooting works and so forth).

As to this module I pulled the latest mainstream
added:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/29/146
plus the two other patches you had submitted with this thread and
everything compiled good.

Glad to see the mouse is working with these patches(thank you vary much
gentlemen).

I can scroll up and down(need to get used to this).
copy/past works
right/left click works.
(need to figure out forward/reverse with firefox probably).

suspend works. I'm getting a resumbit urb, but that's been there
prior to this module. Although there was a moment after wakeup
I turned off the mouse, then reconnecting didnt, but then on another
go(reboot)it worked(maybe hit some odd thing).

Other than not seeing any menu entry under hid
with make menuconfig, I would have to say vary nice
job with this, all functions I need to function are
there(scroll,right/left click, copy/past).

nice job, and thanks for this..
(without this I would of had a non
functional magic mouse).
