[PATCH] Input: byd - use DMI detection

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

 



Because the BYD touchpad uses standard PS/2 commands for its
detection sequence, some other models are incorrectly detected as BYD
touchpads. This causes chaos when byd_init() later fails.

To fix this, init() and detect() should be merged. However, this
would slow down detection for other mouse models. Instead, add a DMI
check before attempting touchpad detection.

Hi all,

This patch should fix the mis-detection of some mouse models as BYD touchpads,
as mentioned in a few bug reports and other threads.

However, I no longer have a machine with a BYD touchpad (although I did record
its DMI data), so this is mostly untested - could anyone *with* a BYD touchpad
please try this patch to check their touchpad still works, and could anyone
with a misdetected non-BYD touchpad please check that this fixes the
misdetection?

Also, the DMI fields really are pretty much all like that ("To Be Filled By
O.E.M.", etc). I've tried to choose the most specific ones, but it's still
fairly arbitrary...

Cheers!
Chris
