I think this patch is ready for real review.  The Magic Mouse requires
that a driver send an unlock Report(Feature) command, similar to the
Wacom wireless tablet and Sixaxis controller quirks.  This turns on an
Input Report that isn't published in the input Report descriptor that
contains touch data (and usually overrides the normal motion and click
Report).

Because the mouse has only one switch and no scroll wheel, the driver
(under control of parameters) emulates a middle button and scroll wheel.
User space could also ignore and/or re-synthesize those events based on
the reported events.

The first patch exports hid_register_report() so the driver can turn on
the multitouch report.  The second patch adds the device ID and the
driver.  Some user-space tools to talk to the mouse directly (that is,
when it is not associated with the host's HIDP stack) are at

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).
