@penalvch - I'm running this kernel, which I believe has your BYD patch included.

  * http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-rc7-yakkety/

dmesg tells me the following:

[ 2.379157] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[ 238.400656] psmouse serio1: byd: Unrecognized Z: pkt = 09 00 00 ce
[ 238.400666] psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 4
[ 238.420196] psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynced.

However, the BYD trackpad supports very few features. Multi finger touch is not recognised, multi finger swipe is not recognised. I cursious to understand why you didn't base the BYD patch you submitted to the kernel on this one the following?

It has had several contributors and all features of the BYD trackpad work correctly.
