Comment 21 for bug 913164

david.chen and Anothy

I think you should try the steps below:

# modprobe hid-multitouch
# echo "BUS 0408 3008 104" >
/sys/module/hid_multitouch/drivers/hid\:hid-multitouch/new_id

And you should replace BUS with the actual bus number of your device,
if you are not sure what is, please post out the output of 'lsusb -vv'.

If the above still doesn't work, please post output of 'dmesg' here, then
I can see if the command has been run successfully.

Thanks
