[Bug 974480] Re: Notification area whitelist is obsolete

2013-02-09 Thread Cliff Wells
I think the friction here is between Canonical, who are using Linux, GTK, et al as a platform to develop a walled garden type setup and those who see Ubuntu as just another Linux distro. Yes, walled garden is a bit overstated being that Ubuntu remains open source, but given the limited resources

@Miguel I think you miss the point: you probably aren't the customer they want. They want customers who buy into their vision, not customers who need X legacy application to run. No OS can please everyone, and it seems clear that Canonical's goals do not align with yours. I think you'll need to

The issue I'm seeing is that tap-to-click is *always* enabled for the two button regions at the bottom of the touchpad. It turns off for the touchpad in general, but the button areas themselves cannot have this disabled. It took me a while to figure out that this was the cause of seemingly

I built a custom Precise kernel, adding only the ACPI patch (to fix suspend/resume) and the Sputnik touchpad drivers. Things are looking much better on the U300s. There's still some minor issues, but at least the system is usable. http://www.enemyofthestatement.com/ubuntu-12-04-on-lenovo-u300s

@Colin Thanks for your .debs. Now for an additional favor: turns out the Dell/Canonical Project Sputnick touchpad driver works great on the U300s and removes the other biggest point-of-pain on this hardware. Any chance you'd be willing to build some kernel debs with both the suspend/resume
