A patch is pending for enabling support for the USB-C model of Apple's latest Magic Trackpad input device under Linux.
Apple's $129 USD new USB-C version of the Magic Trackpad will see Linux support once this pending patch is upstreamed into the mainline Linux kernel.
[1]This patch was posted for review on Saturday. Enabling the new Apple Magic Trackpad USB-C model under Linux requires just adding the new "0x0324" device ID to the hid-magicmouse driver used by various Apple devices. With the new Apple 0x0324 device ID and adjusting a few checks, this latest Magic Trackpad can work fine under Linux.
With this support added to the hid-magicmouse driver, all of the Magic Trackpad features should be working under Linux. Apple just released this updated USB-C device last month. See [2]this patch while awaiting for the code to be upstreamed into the mainline Linux kernel.
