Re: Kernel device driver activates either touchpad or keyboard but not both

I went ahead and allocated a new device entry for the touchpad and everything is working OK now.

Hi,

I have a Bluetooth Sony MSG-MR5U remote that has a full keyboard and a touchpad.  The keyboard works fine in Linux but the touchpad isn't recognized.

I've edited the hid-sony module to enable the touchpad but I've run into a problem where the keyboard stops working when I enable the touchpad.  More specifically, if I call input_mt_init_slots with the INPUT_MT_POINTER flag, the touchpad works but the keyboard stops working.  If I don't pass this flag, the keyboard works but the touchpad doesn't.

Only one device entry is created and after passing INPUT_MT_POINTER to input_mt_init_slots, /proc/bus/input/devices shows

I: Bus=0005 Vendor=0609 Product=0368 Version=0111

Do I have to allocate a new device entry using input_allocate_device so the touchpad is using a separate device from the keyboard or is there a way to activate both the touchpad and the keyboard using a single device?

BTW, I'm working with the 4.10.0-rc3+ kernel.

Thanks,
Todd
