Hi Benjamin, I have tested some more kernel versions. The first version, I could use the hid-multitouch module after adding my device to the blacklist of usb-core.c, was 2.6.38. Using the new_id mechanism I have then triggered hid-multitouch to use my device. I tested every version from 2.6.38 over 2.6.39 to 3.6. commit 5519cab477b61326963c8d523520db0342862b63: Driver crashes at the moment I use the new_id mechanism. 2.6.38-3.0: The device is responsive after reboot, without any additional action on my side. 3.1-3.5: After unloading/reloading the module, the device is working again. 3.6: Even unloading/reloading doesn't help, the device is lost up to the next reboot. Now I am going to do a bit of bisection testing on both regressions. If you have some hints, on how I could speed testing up, I would welcome them. Cheers, Jan Am Donnerstag, 22.
