I originally thought that I could implement something similar to the Synaptics driver. Unfortunately, while in transparent mode bytes are relayed unmodified with the TrackPoint controller disabled. In other words, no simultaneous usage.
That doesn't mean extended protocol mice couldn't be supported in transparent mode however. I didn't find it particularly useful given the TrackPoint itself would be disabled. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
