Sorry, I was unclear. I don't know if this is a regression. I can try going back to an older kernel to see if the /dev/iio:device* files produced any output. Yes, the *raw* files in sysfs are producing output, that is changing as I move the laptop around. But the /dev/ nodes seem to produce no output (I'm still reading through the driver code to understand where that data should be coming from. > Turn on HID debug prints.

Ok, I will try this, as well. -Nish -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
