Please don't open a new bug report if you disagree with closing of
another.  We can always reopen that.

If I understand you correctly, usbhid can bind to the trackpad device
and should not.  Since usbhid is a class device (it works with most USB
'human interface' devices, but not necessarily covering all their
features) we would need to add this device to a blacklist to prevent it
from doing that.  We will *not* fix this by making any driver built-in!

Please send the 'lsusb' output for this system, and the content of
'/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name'.

Ben.
