I had a similar problem with the mouse, which had the same solution -- recompile the kernel with the device settings as earlier emails described. So you're on the right track, I think.
As for recompiling the kernel, this can get a bit confusing. I have hit upon this procedure:
cd to your Linux-3.16.xxx directory. Move or copy .config to .config.save or whatever you like. Do make mrproper (that wipes out any .config you might have had; hence saving the one you had). Then move .config.save to .config. Then do make menuconfig... to set your new device parameters. Finally do the rest of the recompile steps.
