<i>&gt;From: "David E. Nelson" </i><br>
&lt;<a href="mailto:dnelson@jump.net">dnelson@jump.net</a>&gt;<br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;I think that when the 4200 is plugged in, the device driver should take it</i><br>
<i>&gt;out of transparency mode (if the above works w/ regards to taking it out</i><br>
<i>&gt;of xparency mode). The only difference between the 9830 and 9831 is the</i><br>
<i>&gt;interface method so the backend should not care. If a backend were to be</i><br>
<i>&gt;developed, this difference should be hidden, don't you think?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;Regards,</i><br>
<i>&gt; /\/elson</i><br>
<p>
But 9830 and 9831 differs not only in the interface method. The<br>
latest includes new (some) features, but of course, they are similiar<br>
enought to make a single backend. Maybe the backend should have some<br>
option that tells what chipset is being used to take advantage of the<br>
new features (automatic detection?).<br>
<p>
About transparency mode, yes I think it's a good idea to switch<br>
off transparency mode at device driver level.<br>
<p>
Well, I forgot it in my last e-mail; here is the initialization table<br>
I mention:<br>
<p>
registers initialization value<br>
<p>
08-0F 02 1A 00 0A 60 2F 13 06<br>
10-17 17 01 03 03 05 00 00 0B<br>
18-1F 00 00 00 00 0D 21 00 40<br>
20-27 15 18 00 40 02 98 00 00<br>
28-2F 00 01 00 00 3F FF 00 01<br>
30-37 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 30<br>
38-3F 25 25 24 28 24 28 00 00<br>
40-47 00 00 06 1D 00 13 05 48<br>
48-4F 01 C2 00 00 00 00 5E 02<br>
50-57 00 15 00 45 00 10 08 17<br>
58-5F 2B 90 00 00 01 00 80 00<br>
<p>
<p>
At least those registers are modified by the driver:<br>
<p>
1E, 1F<br>
22-25<br>
42 : operation is an ``and 0xfe''<br>
59 : operations are ``and 0x7f'' (ResetPushButton() function)<br>
``or 0x80'' (ResetPushButton() function)<br>
``or 0x90'' (InitialButton() function)<br>
<p>
<p>
