This button is actually located where the middle button should be. Only if one uses the cPad's background display it obtains a "special" meaning. (Then pressing it should launch a menu on the background display and the touchpad works as a touchscreen for this display.) > - added devices to HID blacklist; I think it is more flexible and save to use the manual driver binding capability of the USB core instead: http://lwn.net/Articles/143397/ Which driver to use for which device can then be set, e.g., with the help of udev config files. Blacklisting has the big disadvantage that the device will not work at all if the synaptics-usb kernel module is not loaded/present, whereas otherwise usbhid is used as the default. At least the corresponding part in the blacklist should be enclosed in #ifdef CONFIG_MOUSE_SYNAPTICS_USB ... #endif Further, as noted in the initial comment, not all devices have been tested with this driver. This is another reason to allow the user to choose which driver to use. > - runtime PM (hopefully I got it right); > > - open/close. I do not understand why needs_remote_wakeup is flipped in open/close. As far as I know, the device can not autosuspend after usb_autopm_get_interface was called anyway? > Still TODO: > > - query device for supported rages instead of having module > parameters. At least for the cPad the device does unfortunately not provide this information. I tried to read the HID descriptors once but just got errors. However, the defaults work quite well for all tested devices. The module parameters are actually meant to just provide a simple workaround in case one of the untested devices (especially the touchscreen) might need them. Thanks!
