Could you please compile your kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG, modprobe the
'hid' module with 'debug=2' option, and send me the output that appears in
dmesg when you
- connect the device
- press the non-working buttons
Thanks,

The module accepting the 'debug' option is 'hid', i.e. make this
'hid.debug=2'.

The patch was against HID development tree.

Odd, the patch I sent you was based on 2.6.28.7.
You can just add the lines from .rej files manually, it's only 6 lines of
code or so.

You are awesome, thank you very very much!!
P.S.
I think the failed patch issues were caused by email eating the code
format. Manually editing the failed patch files worked.

Do you think this will make its way into 2.6.29?

Thanks for testing. I will put you in Reported-by:, if you don't mind, and

If there is any urgent bugfix that needs to go to 2.6.29, I will push it
altogether. Otherwise it will probably go through 2.6.30 queue.
