Bug#673588: Elantech touchpad detected as PS2 mouse
found 673588 linux-2.6/3.2.9-1 quit Nicola Alessi wrote: I read from my apt/history.log that the first kernel version I used was 3.2.9-1, and the problem was there, never disappearing on upgrades. Maybe it's a regression from older versions, but I can't tell you. No problem. I can try the upstream version (I suppose it's better if I build it the debian way as indicated in the debian kernel handbook) and report here. Ok. Some quick tips to save time: . scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO makes the intermediate build products smaller . make localmodconfig decreases the scope of the build, making it faster and smaller (it disables building modules that aren't loaded, since they presumably mostly are for hardware you do not have or do not use) So the instructions are: 1. extract a tarball, or clone from your favorite git tree 2. cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config 3. scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO 4. make localmodconfig 5. make deb-pkg (with -jnum for parallel build if wanted) Thanks for your work.

I don't see any relevant newer changes upstream, so please send a summary of your symptoms to linux-in...@vger.kernel.org, cc-ing JJ Ding jj_d...@emc.com.tw and either me or this bug log so we can track it. Be sure to mention: - steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, and how the difference indicates a bug - which kernel versions you have tested and result from each - full dmesg from booting and reproducing the bug, as an attachment - output from grep ELANTECH .config - any other weird symptoms or observations - a link to http://bugs.debian.org/673588 for the backstory If we are lucky them might have ideas (commands or a patch) to help pin down the cause. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Hi Nicola, Quick questions: Nicola Alessi wrote: Tags: upstream Which upstream version did you test? [...] I'm running linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae version 3.2.16-1 on debian wheezy. I unsuccessfully tried version 3.2.17-1 from sid. The laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo pi2515. My /proc/bus/input/devices says: Is this a regression? (In other words, did a previous version work better?) Does 3.3.y from experimental behave any differently? Please attach full dmesg output from booting and a copy of Xorg.0.log.
