It works on my computer at least. When loading the psmouse module I get this: input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio2 Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firware: 5.6 180 degree mounted touchpad Sensor: 18 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> four buttons -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio4 The touchpad and the mouse operates independently of each other. The mouse generates relative events as usual and the touchpad generates absolute events as defined by my previous patch. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
