Hi Mika,

First of all many thanks for your input on this.

No, that is a guess because the windows drivers for this touchpad
can do both ps/2 and i2c-hid, and we're sort of hoping that i2c-hid is
attached, so that we don't need to reverse-engineer a new ps/2 protocol.

But it looks like we are out of luck there, and we really need to figure
out the ps/2 protocol.

FOLT probably stands for Focaltech, and I bet this is the one which will show up in
/sys/bus/acpi/devices/

If it does show up, is there any way to see how it is supposed to be connected ?
