Hello Folks & Dmitry,
Further to the previous patch, here is the current version (against
mainline) updated with the DMI info of another laptop model where this
fix had helped a user.
Can you please review it & give some feedback? If it looks good as it
is, then on behalf of all affected users (including yours truly), may
I request for it to be merged upstream (and possibly stable too)?
(If the patch gets spoiled by gmail, please ref to this bugzilla URL,
where this patch is there as a file attachment:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81331)
I am not terribly happy with having fiddling with keyboard from i8042
core, but I guess that's what we have to do unless someone has better
idea...
Agreed 100%. Regrettably, seeing how psmouse_do_detect() doesn't even
get invoked, this heavy handed approach had to be taken at i8042 core.
However, as you've pointed out, if there is any better idea, we're all
ears.
I'll drop mention of Elantech from the option though as it may well be
needed for other devices in the future.
A version of the patch (against mainline) incorporating your ideas
(i.e., without too much Elantech bashing) is attached to this email
for your review.
Thanks!
Much appreciated. Thank you.
