I am a bit unclear as to which devices this applies to, but I see two possible solutions: 1) Add the devices in question back to the have_special_drivers list. 2) Add the interface type to the group descision, which should probably be done anyway. I have a patch in the pipe that, will send it later today. > This particular device is then fully broken (as anyone pumped the events). > I also noticed the same problem (but less problematic) with cypress > panels: it presents different vendor interfaces and they are handled > by hid-multitouch. It would be great if you could test soution 1) before on a device - something seems wrong if those interfaces were handled by hid-generic before, but before getting the logic straight, it does not hurt to try. :-) Thanks, Henrik -- 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/
