Unfortunately no ... the first device is 8086:9d3a which shows up, but |
| 27 |
the touchscreen at 8086:9d3e dosent. The problem is that the detection |
| 28 |
code does not enumerate secondary devices - there was a patch against |
| 29 |
the spi bus in the kernel a few versions back, but it wont apply to |
| 30 |
4.6.1. This is the likely problem but the code is very opaque :( |

I'll try and manually add an appropriate stanza in tonight. |
