[PATCH 0/1] hid: Add support for the Elecom DEFT trackball

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The Elecom DEFT is a trackball mouse, a picture can be found here [1].
As you can see, there're three Fn keys at the top of the mouse. These
keys doesn't work on current Linux kernel. Complains from several users
can be found on the internet [1][2].

The problem is in the HID report sent by the device, only 5 standard
buttons are reported. There's an additional 3*1 bit item without any
usage page in the report, which corresponds to the Fn buttons. This
patch remove that item, and change the number of standard buttons to 8.
