thanks. Regarding lightdm itself, do you intend to also release a newer package for the 1.6 "stable" branch as well ? The current bug is in fact a 1.6 regression there as well (and this is how I noticed it). It's a bit counter-intuitive that the fix for a regression found in the "stable" branch is

Hi, Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding, but it very much seems to me that the gdm/lightdm configuration scripts are unconditionally setting the default value of the debconf choice to gdm, irrespective of the previous value of the setting. Is that normal behaviour ? In the transcript below I would

You are well right posting a new bug. Bug 606238 was really too crowded. As far as I am aware, no, there is nothing in the current ubuntu kernel for having this issue fixed. I hacked a dklm replacement, building on top of Dave Turvene's and Ben Gamari's work. Code is here. git://github.com/emman

In reply to #276-#277. I was mistaken on this one. Apparently the driver does nothing regarding enabling or disabling multitouch features on the trackpad. It's only a matter of the software down the line which interprets the packet data. Nothing, in fact, recognizes more than two finger in the alp

Cool. I suspected there was some clutter in there, but not to that point. I am a bit surprised though that there is no ENABLE command in your short init sequence. Looks quite odd. I factored the e6x30 init sequences into a common sequence (tested, works), and later ambitiously tested a merge of

Sure. Not today, though. All these features are configurable with the windows touchpad software. Assuming they map to visible config orders sent to the device upon init, I can reverse-engineer them and enable them from the driver. I wonder, though, what is the usual choice done for touchpad hardw

Just re-tested this one. It's still broken. /usr/share/info/gcc.info.gz points to gcc-4.6.info.gz (don't know whether that was the case before), but that is of no use for providing correct `info gcc', because: (1) update-info-dir does not look at symlinks. (2) the info-dir section in gcc-4.6.i
