just for the archives, I've pushed this driver now. The old one is still in the repo so if this one really doesn't work on your hardware you can revert 6a6103262530d8fca66ee3847d5664824158c12b locally. While you hopefully file a bug and give us a chance to fix the new one :) Cheers, Peter > > This isn't a completely new implementation, I worked on a project named > libtouchpad a few months back, most of this is porting things over to > libinput.
