19:31:11alexshendiI was talking about the Ideapad, 9front says smth about ehci when booting.
19:32:04alexshendifroggey: thanks! this clarifies a lot
19:32:06froggeythat probably has a UHCI controller too
19:32:44froggeythey usually come in pairs, an OHCI or UHCI controller for USB1 devices like mice and an EHCI controller for USB2 devices
19:34:58fittestbits__Currently, the HID class driver only recognizes mice that support the boot protocol.
19:35:41fittestbits__This is a mis-understanding on my part. The driver should be looking at some other configuration field to determine the type of HID device.
19:37:10fittestbits__As I recall, that's why froggey's external touch pad (?) device didn't work - it wasn't recognized as a mouse (pointer device) because it doesn't support the boot protocol.
19:38:13fittestbits__The driver does support the "normal" protocol, just happens to use the boot protocol support field to determine the device type.
