Re: kern/58302: Newer Elantech touchpad is not being registered by pms

Hey, 

So I tried today to give the updated patch linked in the email
thread a spin.

I wasn't able to build the kernel with xorg support (see details
below) so I could only test it without xorg.

I built NetBSD on the following commit (github) 

74b93bff118ebb0ab3b384ea79fe9a7c9c62ae20

I applied the patch as is with git am, and didn't do anything to
fix the whitespace warnings. I built the kernel with the following
command:

./build.sh -U -u -O ~/obj -j2 -m amd64 release

I created an installation media and booted into OS with -x -v
flags, and these were my findings:

$ dmesg | grep -i pms
[ ...] pms0 at pckbc1 (aux slot)
[ ...] pms0: synaptics_probe: Not synaptics.
[ ...] wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0

$ dmesg | grep -i elan
nothing

$ dmesg | grep -i iic
[ ...] iic0 at dwiic0: I2C bus
[ ...] iic1 at ichsmb0: I2C bus

Since (ostensibly) dmesg doesn't report registering any elan touchpad
, I didn't think the patch worked and so I didn't bother trying
further to build with xorg support.

The error I got when trying to build NetBSD with Xorg support was

Fixing the import issues yielded more errors, so I gave up. I
attempted to buid it on FreeBSD 14
