Right, still spurious triggering is rather unlikely to actually happen, so lets just go with printk_once. > >>> Two users have tested the combination of this patchset and confirmed that >>> it makes the H730 touchpad/trackpoint work. >>> >>> Here an overview of the patchset: >>> >>> Patch 1/ : Input: elantech - use elantech_report_trackpoint for hardware v4 too >>> The Fujitsu H730 is the first v4 hardware identified that also sends the >>> trackpoint packets.

I made that list by manual scraping info from forum and bug tracker posts, so I'm afraid I've no contact info. All the other touchpad drivers sofar are able to test for a middle button press without getting spurious presses on laptops which don't have a middle button. So lets just move forward with your patch as is, we can always go the dmi quirk route if it turns out to cause troubles. > >>> ... >>> >>> Patch 4/ : Input: Elantech - provide a sysfs knob for crc_enabled >>> Probably H730 will not remain the only elantech laptop that has this failing >>> detection for the crc_enabled.
