Re: [PATCH] Input: ALPS - add support for 73 03 28 devices (Thinkpad L570)

Hi,

oh ok, understood. Thanks for this hint.

So maybe there is something wrong with the alps_update_dual_info_ss4_v2
function or the reporting of the hardware.

alps_update_dual_info_ss4_v2 detects the ThinkPad L570 as ss4plus device
but not as dualpoint device. This means that the ALPS_DUALPOINT and the
ALPS_DUALPOINT_WITH_PRESSURE flag will not be set which results in a non
function trackstick and hardware mouse buttons. Each time I touch the
trackstick I get the message: "alps: Rejected trackstick packet from non
DualPoint device".

The value of otp[0][0] inside alps_update_dual_info_ss4_v2 is 0xCE. Are
there any ideas why it is not detected as dualpoint device?

Thank you & best regards,

Dennis
