I patched usbtouchscreen.c in my 2.6.28.2 kernel

But if I look in /proc/bus/usb/devices
the touchscreen is now managed from the usbhid driver
so usbtouchscreen is again ignoring my device

/proc/bus/input/devices is again empty and no
entry exists for the touchscreen :-(

This is the same behaviour that I had before
copying back "my patched" version and everything is
working again.

Just to make sure I understand how this should work
the entry must be there also if usbhid is managing
the touchscreen right?

BTW: dmesg contains a new line with the patched version
generic-usb: probe of 0003:0EEF:0001.0002 failed with error -32
when initializing the touchscreen

So sorry no success here

But I have to say that I got this touchscreen very cheap
second hand and maybe this is just some stupid problem
only for this device.

If your code works for all the other devices you tested
I am fine doing my change for now and you should not
waste more time on this :-)

Thanks
