Wacom tablets, TabletPC and Xorg support for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

2008-11-09 Thread Loïc Martin

To the ubuntu developers, in particular those who deal with hardware drivers. DISCLAIMER *** Rather than using the pre-installed windows in my laptop, and giving bad publicity both to ubuntu and myself, I decided to spend some money of my own to purchase a kind of hardware that I

As listed, the choices are noop, anticipatory, deadline, and cfq. Kernel gurus look away as I try to explain this, lest you risk dying a bit (or a lot) on the inside The default is CFQ which tries to separate IO requests by priority classes, and then provides fair timeslices to each process

Where I said rt2500, I actually meant the edimax cards with the rt73 chipset that should be very supported and good under ubuntu, but try to search for edimax on launchpad and you'll see recent breakage. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings
