[Bug 1305522] Re: Backport Synaptics HID touchpad driver for 14.04

 

Hi, thanks for all your help.
The problem happened on XPS machines which lists both psmouse and DLL063E in xinput doesn't happen on my machine, Dell Inspiron 5547. It loaded the psmouse module as well, but looks like it doesn't affect anything.
I'm not sure if this issue will lead to an race condition, could you please try another scenario to make sure it will work on another situation.
1. blacklist hid_rmi
2. after reboot, modprobe hid_rmi and then see if multitouch function works.

On your machines, it always loads hid_rmi before psmouse, so i2c driver gains the control. I would like to know what will happen if we let psmouse to be loaded before hid_rmi.
Thanks.
