This is a terrible hardware flaw if it can't be controlled. Isnt't there a unique sequence we can determine when the horizontal wheel is tilted?. When I turn off cruise control, all my buttons work flawlessly, but not getting the autorepeat data. This autorepeat data occurs between button press and button release and could be easily forged. > It has all that in the report descriptor, and the HID driver correctly > interprets it and passes it on. We should manipulate this data when it arrives in the kernel, in my opinion. It's a faulty device and we should present it to userspace as working. > It's annoying, though. Yeah, very, considering the capabilities of this device. > I could kill the extra buttons (via a HID quirk), which would leave us > with autoscroll up/down/left/right, but the wheel wouldn't be > distinguishable from the autoscroll anymore.

I've killed the autoscroll by turning cruise control off; buttons work then without auto repeat.

I hope this is not the final solution. I should be possible to disable the data stream intervention if userspace wants to handle this, though. -- Esben Stien is [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.esben-stien.name irc://irc.esben-stien.name/%23contact [sip|iax]:esben-stien.name - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
