On other laptops (e.g. Dell E6430) there is a trackstick on the keyboard between the G/H/B keys, and its reports are handled by the ALPS driver. There was a suggestion in the launchpad.net thread to check a register bit to see if the trackstick is present, but it isn't yet clear whether this bit actually indicates the presence of the trackstick or if it just "happens" to be set on the units that have tracksticks. My suggestion was to avoid registering the trackstick if we have a foolproof way of knowing it's missing, otherwise just register it unconditionally to be safe. -- 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
