Thread: help w/udev rule for Cirque Glidepoint?

folks, i've got adesso keyboard cirque glidepoint touchpad.

cirque subsidiary of alps, although doesn't mean cirque's glidepoint compatible alps touchpad driver.

nonetheless, i'm plowing forward. between xorg.log , output of udevadm, think i've got enough information wire glidepoint synaptic driver, assuming can write udev rule inclusion in /etc/udev/rules.d.

cannot find simple explanation or example of writing such rule. teasing out salient part of /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-input.rules , /lib/udev/rules.d/66-xorg-synaptics-quirks.rules has been unproductive.

can point me source?

if can @ least wire rules, can play around different drivers.

think need tell x use specific driver, rather evdev, since want access seemingly vendor-specific capabilities -- might available through synaptics driver.

help. output of udevadm , xorg.log below.

using udevadm, i've lifted:

, xorg.log shows me:
