The synaptics docu [1] about "information queries" is a bit imprecise in
my view. It's clear to get "Identify TouchPad" with "E8 00 E8 00 E8 00
E8 00 E9". But as I understand it, to get "Read Capabilities" we should
do "E8 02 E8 02 E8 02 E8 02 E9" instead of "E8 00 E8 00 E8 00 E8 02 E9".
Peter, does the touchpad works with synaptics driver when you apply this
patch below?
