There are trackpoint devices that fail to respond to the PS2 command PSMOUSE_CMD_GETID if immediately queried after the parent device is deactivated. Add a small delay for the hardware to get in a sane state before sending any PS2 commands. One example of such a system is: Lenovo ThinkPad X120e, model 30515QG synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.0, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd001a3/0x940300/0x121c00, board id: 1811, fw id: 797391 Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c b/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c index ec347703..ad18dab 100644 --- a/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c +++ b/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c @@ -1540,6 +1540,10 @@ static int psmouse_connect(struct serio *serio, struct serio_driver *drv) if (error) goto err_clear_drvdata; + /* give PT device some time to settle down before probing */ + if (serio->id.type == SERIO_PS_PSTHRU) + usleep_range(10000, 15000); + if (psmouse_probe(psmouse) < 0) { error = -ENODEV; goto err_close_serio; -- 2.4.3 -- 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
