Well this was suggested on the linux-usb/linux-kernel mailinglist. And if you have a look at usbhid - it is full of quirks: Rationale, ignore devices that other drivers should deal with. So yes I think it will be accepted at some point *IF* the appletouch/appleir driver works reliably for all the blacklisted device ids... So I would vote to include it here, such that it gets broader testing. > And anyway, I think this works quite well too: > echo -n 2-2:1.1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind > echo -n 2-2:1.1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/appletouch/bind nice workaround. didn't know that one.
