Indeed, I'm pretty sure this is the right device. The xf86 driver I mentioned comes as a source module, and accesses the device via serio_raw. I've compared the code and the protocol is identical: and indeed, the xf86 module makes clear some things the serio driver implies (e.g., the xf86 driver treats the data definitively as 11-bit). The problem with the xf86 driver is many-fold; it was written pre-Xorg and it's taken me a fair bit of hacking just to even get it to work on Fedora 14 without segfaulting. It's also a lot more complex than the serio equivalent. > > Now, there is a serio driver for the touchit213 series, but the obvious: > > > > echo -n "touchit213" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio4/drvctl > > > > .. doesn't work.

I had only really been looking at the connect() function. Is it possible it's as simple as adding another stanza accepting SERIO_8042 or is there a more fundamental reason why ttySx is only allowed? Thanks for all your help, Alex. -- This message was scanned by Better Hosted and is believed to be clean. http://www.betterhosted.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
