hi again sorry i did not reassign it to udev - the kernel people did
i disable hid_multitouch but it is still enabled unless i disable usbhid - this is the problem i'm having "modprobe -r hid_multitouch" DOES NOT disable the touch screen only "modprobe -r usbhid" disables it, but also disables all hid usb devices in previous kernels "modprobe -r hid_multitouch" worked and disabled the touchscreen of course i added it to the blacklist as that worked at boot each time but has stopped working with 4.18 and 4.19 kernels, so i reported a kernel issue but they reassigned it to udev i do not know why On Tue, 2019-01-08 at 14:27 +0100, Michael Biebl wrote: > Am 08.01.19 um 14:19 schrieb fakefur: > > as requested > > thanks > > > > > > lauren@THINKY:~$ lsmod | grep hid_multitouch > > Ok, so the module is not loaded. > > > lauren@THINKY:~$ grep hid_multitouch /etc/modprobe.d/* > > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:blacklist hid_multitouch > > > > lauren@THINKY:~$ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | grep > > modprobe > > etc/modprobe.d > > etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > > etc/modprobe.d/thinkfan.conf > > usr/lib/modprobe.d > > usr/lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf > > usr/lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf > > usr/lib/modprobe.d/systemd.conf > > usr/sbin/modprobe > > > > What happens if you manually unload hid_multitouch > > > and then run # modprobe hid_multitouch > > yes this loads it > > Sorry, I actually wanted you to try "modprobe -b", so the blacklist > is > expected. > But as you've shown above, the blacklist is actually respected by > udev. > > I thus don't see a problem in udev's way of loading the modules. > > Ben, can you elaborate why you reassigned this to udev? > Maybe I'm missing something obvious. > > Regards, > Michael > > > as i mentioned before unloading this module does not disable the > > touchscreen - i have to unload usbhid to get the touchscreen > > disabled, > > which of course disables usb mice but i'm using bluetooth for now > > so i > > can live with this > > > > hth > > :) > > > > On Tue, 2019-01-08 at 12:58 +0100, Michael Biebl wrote: > > > On Fri, 04 Jan 2019 10:19:06 +0100 fakefur <fake...@gmail.com> > > > wrote: > > > > makes no difference > > > > i cannot disable the touchscreen > > > > > > > > > > By "cannot disable the touchscreen", I assume you mean that the > > > hid_multitouch kernel module is loaded? > > > > > > What's the output of > > > # lsmod | grep hid_multitouch > > > # grep hid_multitouch /etc/modprobe.d/* > > > # lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | grep modprobe > > > What happens if you manually unload hid_multitouch > > > and then run > > > # modprobe hid_multitouch > > > > > > Is the module loaded or not? > >
