I just bought a new Asus U46E-BAL5 notebook with an Elantech touchpad. There's a kernel bug that forces the touchpad to come up as a PS/2 mouse, and none of the built-in or optional touchpad tools even see that there's a touchpad installed. So only pointing and the buttons work, and I can't turn it off when there's a USB mouse connected. I filed a bug in openSUSE Bugzilla for this on both 11.4 and 12.1. The first reporting of this bug seems to have been for Samsung notebooks on Ubuntu 11.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/681904 but there's an entry there that implies to me that it's the same problem I have: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/6819... I also tried Fedora 15 and it has the same problem. There are some patches in the Ubuntu bug report, though, and I'd like to test them on 12.1 Milestone 5. If I have the devel_kernel pattern installed, what else do I need to build and test a kernel / initrd? BTW, kernel.org seems to be down at the moment, so I can't verify the kernel bug tracker entry for this. But there's definitely activity on the Elantech driver on the LKML archives, so I'm pretty sure there's a way I can get this fixed. -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- Paul Erdős -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
