Hi
Thank you for your feedback. When it is really difficult to communicate in
english, you can use german too. I'll understand most of it.
The patch is now adapted a bit and approved by Dmitry and he tries to get it
in 3.17 kernel. (See the thread started with
[URL="https://3c.web.de/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spinics.net%2Flists%2Flinux-input%2Fmsg33101.html"]http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg33101.html[/URL])
The specific line
+ dev2->name = "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint";
Was changed to
tp_dev->name = "Elantech PS/2 TrackPoint";
The reasoning was that it is not an IBM trackpoint (also Fujitsu H730 has the
same trackpoint) but really an Elantech trackpoint.
If I see the patch pop up on the Torvalds git tree for 3.17, I'll let you know.
In the mean time I'm preparing to also make the Fujitsu H730 work. I already
have a quick¬-so-dirty patch that makes it work, but I'm now preparing to
make it match the linux kernel coding standards.
Thank you,
Best regards,
Ulrik
