[opensuse-kernel] Fwd: OBS HEAD kernel-desktop

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: OBS HEAD kernel-desktop Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:16:24 +0200 From: Daniel FAIVRE <webmaster@geomaticien.com> Reply-To: webmaster@geomaticien.com To: jeffm@novell.com There's a problem with builtin hid-ntrig in kernel-desktop : the hid-ntrig is NOT working (stylus button do NOT work) : it would be a great idea NOT to embed hid-ntrig in the kernel, and to include it only as a module, until developments evolutes enough to get a correct basic support. Actually, there's no way to get it work except recompiling the whole kernel without builtin hid-ntrig ... Does one kernel is available with working LVM and hid-ntrig as module and not builtin ? I also thought using 11.2 milestone 8, BUT the LVM bug do not allow these idea ...

So just pick one hid device as a module? Sure, I don't object to doing that if it fixes problems for people. What specific config option should be changed? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Apparently we are having CONFIG_HID_*=y for -desktop flavour. I think it might be good idea to change it back to =m, to be in sync with other flavours, vanilla defaults, etc. Daniel, could you please report the problems you are having with hid-ntrig upstream? That would mean sending the description of the misbehavior of the driver to Rafi Rubin <rafi@seas.upenn.edu> Stephane Chatty <chatty@enac.fr> Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> linux-input@vger.kernel.org Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
