Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: inputattach
Hello,
I was having difficulty using the inputattach utility with the opensource elo
touchscreen driver and xubuntu 8.04. I contacted the driver's author, and the
author of inputattach itself, Vojtech Pavlik. He advised that I should have
seen something like this, after the elo driver had been initalised by "sudo
modprobe elo;
sudo inputattach --elotouch /dev/ttyS4":
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio2> cat uevent
SERIO_TYPE=02
SERIO_PROTO=29
SERIO_ID=00
SERIO_EXTRA=00
MODALIAS=serio:ty02pr29id00ex00
When, in actuality, I was seeing this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio2> cat uevent
SERIO_TYPE=02
SERIO_PROTO=2b
SERIO_ID=00
SERIO_EXTRA=00
MODALIAS=serio:ty02pr2Bid00ex00
This was very odd, as SERIO_PROTO should have been 0x29 for the elo
driver, because the macro SERIO_ELO is #define'd as such in
/usr/include/linux/serio.h .
I got the inputattach source from somewhere and built it myself, against
the userspace . I found that everything worked fine, and that a mouse
device node appeared in /dev/input/ as originally expected. I'd
speculate that somehow, the serio.h that the standard inputattach
distribution was built against somehow incorrectly #define'd the
SERIO_PROTO macro as 0x2b.
