Hi JJ,

Now that we've added clickpad, or buttonpad, support in xf86-input-synaptics, ensuring all the buttonpad devices are marked as such by the linux drivers is important. Apparently, some Elantech trackpads are buttonpads. What would it take to add support for setting this input device property in the elantech driver?

Thanks!

Basically, only v4 hardware is buttonpad. I do have a few patches to add the support for this, just haven't had the time to send them out yet.

I will tidy up my patches a bit and send them out for review ASAP. Thank you for reminding me this.

Best regards,
