Ignore i2c mouse devices #74

Open c84c opened 2 years ago

c84c commented 2 years ago

Description

Ignore i2c mouse devices. Already known issue.

Works like a charm on my Dell XPS 15 9560.

WARNING

To be deeply tested with other PC vendors/products !

I haven't tested it with other PC than mine, but I can suppose that the devices interaction with i2c kernel modules is the same.

Related Issues

Maybe related issues are: #40, #61, #64 and #67.

For #67 I think that i2c devices are one problem. The other is multiple mouse connected/discovered.

Thanks again! I think this should work in majority of the cases unless the device manufacturer does something weird. The original idea was to implement an UI field that would allow such devices to be ignored manually.

By the user? Can be a good idea, but debugging extension with user ignored devices can be complicated. In event of implementation of this feature, I suggest you to add a mandatory field in issue templates where insert user ignored devices.
