It appears that the Cintiq Companion Hybrid does not send an ABS_MISC event to userspace when any of its ExpressKeys are pressed. This is not strictly necessary now that the pad exists on its own device, but should be fixed for consistency's sake. Traditionally both the stylus and pad shared the same device node, and xf86-input-wacom would use ABS_MISC for disambiguation. Not sending this causes the Hybrid to behave incorrectly with xf86-input-wacom beginning with its 8f44f3 commit. Signed-off-by: Jason Gerecke <redacted> --- Question: I'd like to write a version of this patch which targets stable releases where the stylus and pad share the device node. How would I go about submitting one, since CCing this patch to stable won't quite do the trick (the patches would have to be against our old home under drivers/input/tablet...)
IIRC, once this one hits linus tree, you send an adapted version of the same patch which refers this one. Just add the hash of the final patch in Linus tree, and mention in the subject prefix which stable releases you are targeting. See for an example http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/120947

I am not 100% sure, but in my memories, the ABS_MISC event was sent before any buttons. But maybe not. Anyway, this is Reviewed-by: Benjamin Tissoires [off-list ref] Cheers, Benjamin
