I hope the driver at least checks that the port is untranslated (SERIO_I8042, not SERIO_I8042_XL), and that the device behaves as a mouse. Btw, I assume the packet format is also indistinguishable from a standard PS/2 mouse? If it were integrated into psmouse, it probably need to be enabled by a module parameter. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR - 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/
