Sorry, I haven't been very responsive this week. I have been in touch with Dmitry Torokhov who maintains the Input layer for Linux. He suggested a few changes, and I wrote a new version of the patch based on his suggestions. It also has a variant of Dave's 'button router'. This is now on the linux-input mailing list, and I hope for inclusion in Linux.
Nevertheless, I'd appreciate it if you guys gave the new version a spin and verify that all your favorite bugs are gone. Maybe someone could compile a readymade .ko for everyone to test with the stock ubuntu kernel? Thank you guys for helping me on this! A few minor details: * The weirderbit is used as a button bit in some models. * Waiting for a seventh byte after six have been received is not an option. The PS/2 driver will force desync in this case. I.e. detecting the packet lengh will need a redesign at a deeper layer. Nevertheless, if you don't press all three buttons, the driver should work :-) * Dave says that the seventh byte is not even necessarily helpful. ** Attachment added: "Third version for linux input ML" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35867575/0001-Implement-protocol-for-certain-Alps-dualpoint-touchp.patch -- ALPS DualPoint Touchpad flaky performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
