Which in the end turns out to be much nicer too, since it gets rid of needing a udev-helper too. After this much too long introduction I'll let the patches speak for themselves.Yeah, I was coming to the conclusion that this was probably the best we could do. It's unfortunate that "id" is already in use - we'd be able to get away without any X server modifications otherwise. Long term we probably still want to tie serio devices to the ACPI devices in case the vendor provides power management calls there, but we can leave that until there's an actual example.I am still unsure if we shoudl be adding these new IDs to serio core... Can't the X driver take a peek at ACPI devices on it's own?The problem is there is no way for userspace to know which /sys/devices/pnp0/00:xx device is the serio bus host.
Practically speaking you should not care - there is only one touchpad in Lenovos. Thanks. -- Dmitry
