Hi, thank you for explanation! So in our case, ALPS device should not be put into passthrough mode as there is no device after it. > In the past TrackPoint does not show in the device list because of TrackPoint > was hidden device of Touchpad. > But from CS19, TrackPoint is directly connecting with PS2 port, > 3 bytes packet does not need to take affect by other vendors Touchpad format. > So alps.c is no need for CS19 device. So if trackpoint.c driver is working fine with this configuration, it is just needed to instruct alps.c to not take this device. > Best Regards > Shona > -----邮件原件----- > 发件人: Pali Rohár <pali.ro...@gmail.com> > 发送时间: Wednesday, June 12, 2019 1:39 AM > 收件人: dmitry.torok...@gmail.com > 抄送: Hui Wang <hui.w...@canonical.com>; 劉 曉曉 Xiaoxiao Liu > <xiaoxiao.li...@cn.alps.com>; XiaoXiao Liu <sliuuxiaonx...@gmail.com>; > peter.hutte...@who-t.net; linux-in...@vger.kernel.org; > linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; 曹 曉建 Xiaojian Cao <xiaojian....@cn.alps.com>; > zhang...@lenovo.com; 斉藤 直樹 Naoki Saito <naoki.sa...@alpsalpine.com>; 川瀬 英夫 > Hideo Kawase <hideo.kaw...@alpsalpine.com> > 主题: Re: 答复: 答复: 答复: [PATCH] input: alps-fix the issue alps cs19 trackstick do > not work. > > On Tuesday 11 June 2019 10:32:28 dmitry.torok...@gmail.com wrote: > > On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 07:17:07PM +0200, Pali Rohár wrote: > > > On Tuesday 11 June 2019 10:07:07 dmitry.torok...@gmail.com wrote: > > > > On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 09:23:33AM +0200, Pali Rohár wrote: > > > > > On Tuesday 11 June 2019 12:32:33 Hui Wang wrote: > > > > > > On 2019/6/11 上午11:23, Hui Wang wrote: > > > > > > > On 2019/6/11 上午11:05, Xiaoxiao Liu wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi Pali, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I discussed with our FW team about this problem. > > > > > > > > We think the V8 method means a touchpad feature and does > > > > > > > > not fit the CS19 trackpoint device. > > > > > > > > CS19 TrackPoint needn't use any Absolute (Raw) mode and > > > > > > > > is usually use standard mouse data. > > > > > > > > CS19 TrackPoint device is a completely different device > > > > > > > > with DualPoint device of Dell/HP. > > > > > > > > CS19 TrackPoint device is independent of Touchpad. > > > > > > > > (Touchpad is connecting by I2C, TrackPoint is directly > > > > > > > > connecting with PS2 port.)
