Unfortunately no ... the first device is 8086:9d3a which shows up, but the touchscreen at 8086:9d3e dosent. The problem is that the detection code does not enumerate secondary devices - there was a patch against the spi bus in the kernel a few versions back, but it wont apply to 4.6.1. This is the likely problem but the code is very opaque :( I'll try and manually add an appropriate stanza in tonight. BillK
