It currently only works correctly with a standard PS/2 mouse driver. And nvec starts working with 3.3 anyway formally, previously it was not used at all, now it is registered via DT. > Let's make it autodetect the new stuff. We'd probably need the upper layer (the psmouse driver or whatever) to tell the lower layer that it configured the device on the bus to a specific packet size, and we can then configure the bus to do this. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
