>From Henrik on the kernel team mailing list: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tested the bcm5974 driver with the 2.6.24-20.38 kernel image.
1. Out-of-the-box, the driver gets loaded, but the mouse is still governed by the hid module. Works just as if the bcm5974 is not there, which I take as a good sign; no regression. 2. Adding bcm5974 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and updating (update-initramfs -u), the driver gets loaded right after usbhid, and the dynamic quirks sets in as expected. Provided the latest patch is used, bcm5974-0.58, the result is a fully operational multitouch trackpad. The current hardy-lbm version does not reset properly after hid initialization, resulting in a frozen mouse. To me, this seems to work well enough, but the already-provided patch needs to be applied to hardy-lbm to work satisfactorily.
