Hello, I tried Linux version 2.6.23-rc7 on my macbook pro using the appletouch input driver. I noticed that often release events for the touchpad button are missing. This does not occur with Linux version 2.6.22. I suppose this is related to the new reset logic in the driver introduced in 2.6.23. If a reset occurs while the button is pressed the release event seems to be not sent sometimes. The attached patch fixes the problem for me. It changes the count towards idle so that the count is only incremented if the touchpad button is not pressed. I also attached the output of lsusb.txt. As I am not subscribed to the list, please cc me in replies.
Yep, this makes sense, thank you for the patch. Couple of comments:
y = atp_calculate_abs(dev->xy_acc + ATP_XSENSORS, ATP_YSENSORS,
ATP_YFACT, &y_z, &y_f);
+ int key= dev->data[dev->datalen - 1] & 1;We do not normally put variable definitions in the middle of the code but at the beginning of the block.
the first touch unless reinitialised. Do so if it's been
idle for a while in order to avoid waking the kernel up
