It should be included in the main tree real soon now and it will be included in any test kernel I post in the meantime (there is some more adb stuff in the pipeline including MacX mice support). >- Despite corrupted colors in X, I was still able to get around in X, see the >cursor and type into terminal windows, etc. THE NEW TRACKPAD TAPPING CODE IS >EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you! To put it simply, this has almost the same trackpad >behavior as the Trackpad Control Panel in MacOS 8.x. Thanks for providing the >diff. It's actually the same behaviour, this is handled by the trackpad itself ;-) My work was simply to give the correct values to the trackpad for configuration and I used values "spied" from MacOS. There's also command line tool for changing the config in progress here. >Before the holiday season I was compiling my own kernels with the latest >patches for chipsfb.c but I haven't been able to keep up with t he latest over >these last few weeks. Hopefully this email is useful in debugging the problems >with chipsfb.c. I'll try to update myself next week. Things are moving quickly with the big merge almost finished, you may just want to wait for the final 2.2 or a new pre-something, you'll get the most up-to-date patches for chipsfb. My ADB patches may or may not be part of 2.2.0, I have separated the first set with little change to adb.c/.h on one side and a more complete reorganisation of the adb stuff on other side. This should make the merge more easy for the first one. I'm still testing things however, I don't know when it will be fully ready (quite soon hopefully). -- E-Mail: BenH.
