Request to apply commit 864db929 (Input: ALPS - fix TrackStick support for SS5 hardware) to 4.9

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

 



An updated ALPS mouse driver was merged in Kernel 4.9, which includes support for new ALPS SS5 devices.  These devices were previously supported as generic PS/2 devices, but the new driver adds support for advanced mouse features such as scrolling.

Unfortunately, the driver in 4.9 has a bug that causes some unexpected behaviors, particularly when the TouchPad and TrackStick are used at the same time.  Commit 864db929 (Input: ALPS - fix TrackStick support for SS5 hardware) fixes that bug, but was not merged until 4.10-rc1.

Some users are complaining about this bug in 4.9, for example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191741  Due to these complaints, I believe we should backport this fix to 4.9.

Thanks,
-Paul
