2011-05-17Input: elantech - describe further the protocolÉric Piel
For some Dell laptops, Ubuntu had a special version of the elantech driver with more knowledge on the devices. It can be found there: http://zinc.ubuntu.com/git?p=mid-team/hardy-netbook.git;a=blob;f=drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c;h=d0e2cafed162428f72e3654f4dda85e08ea486b3;hb=refs/heads/abi-22 By inspecting the source code, and doing some test on a real hardware, I have completed the protocol specification (especially for the 6 bytes protocol). It also adds information about the mapping between the version reported by the device and the protocol to use.

Add a new EV_SYN code, SYN_DROPPED, to inform the client when input events have been dropped from the evdev input buffer due to a buffer overrun. The client should use this event as a hint to reset its state or ignore all following events until the next packet begins.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
