On some systems after starting computer function alps_identify() does not detect
dual ALPS touchpad+trackstick device correctly and detect only touchpad.

Resetting ALPS device before identifiying it fixing this problem and both parts
touchpad and trackstick are detected.

Looks good and seems sensible:

*sigh* I am not really happy about this, as we making boot longer and longer
for people without ALPS touchpads. It would be better if we only reset the
mouse when we knew we are dealing with ALPS, and even better if we only reset
it when we suspected that we missed trackstick. Any chance of doing this?

Thanks.

Dmitry, problem is that function check which detecting trackstick 
does not working when I start my laptop from power-off state and 
do not reset PS/2 device. But detecting ALPS touchpad looks like 
working. So if do not like this idea, what about doing something 
like this in alps_dectect function?

int alps_detect(...)
{
...
/* detect if device is ALPS */
if (alps_identify(...) < 0)
return -1;
/* now we know that device is ALPS */
if (!(flags & ALPS_DUALPOINT)) {
/* reset it and identify again, maybe there is trackstick */
psmouse_reset(...);
alps_identify(...);
}
...
}

It will does not affect non ALPS devices (because first identify 
call will fail), but will affect ALPS devices without trackstick 
(because identify will be called twice and reset too).

I think this is a step in right direction. Do you know what exactly
fails in alps_identify() on your box if you do not call psmouse_reset?

Thanks.

Yes, I know. It is failing in alps_probe_trackstick_v3(). It 
calls alps_command_mode_read_reg(...) and it returns 0 which 
means trackstick is not there.

OK, so can we try sticking psmouse_reset() there? This will limit the
exposure of the new delay.

Sorry, but I think this is not safe. Function psmouse_reset will 
reset device (set it to relative mode, etc...) and before and 
after alps_probe_trackstick_v3() are called other functions. So 
it could break something else.

Tommy (added To header), what do you think? How could be this 
problem solved? When or where to call psmouse_reset() so that it 
will not affect non ALPS devices and also it call will be safe?

We might need to repeat bits of alps_identify() after resetting the
mouse, you are right. It should still be doable though.

What about checking "E6 report" and if that pass reset device and 
do full alps_identify? With check for "E6 report" we can filter 
probably all PS/2 devices which are not ALPS.

Why don't you pull alps_probe_trackstick_v3() from alps_identify(),
rename it into __alps_identify() and then have real alps_identify be:

static int alps_identfy(struct psmouse *psmouse, struct alps_data *priv)
{
	int error;

	error = __alps_identify(psmouse, priv);
	if (error)
		return error;

	if (priv->proto_version == ALPS_PROTO_V3 &&
	    (priv->flags & ALPS_IS_RUSHMORE)) {
		/*
		 * Some Dell Lattitudes may not always recognize
		 * tracksticks without resetting the device.
		 */
		psmouse_reset(psmouse);

		error =  __alps_identify(psmouse, priv);
		if (error)
			return error;

		if (alps_probe_trackstick_v3(psmouse,
					     ALPS_REG_BASE_RUSHMORE))
			priv->flags &= ~ALPS_DUALPOINT;
	}

	return 0;
}

This way you minimize number of devices exposed to extra reset.

Thanks.

Hello Dmitry,

I sent new patch series v3 with another solution for fixing this 
problem. It just effectively move more parts of alps code and 
trackstick detection should work. It does not introduce new reset 
call (like in this version) so it is better.
