| |
This patch fixes the case where certain laptop touchpads (ALPS) are disabled if the machine boots with a usb mouse plugged in.
Without it, users have to choose between using either a usb mouse or the touchpad. With it, any combination is possible and the usb mouse can be attached/removed at runtime without breaking the touchpad.
The patch is ported from a SuSE kernel to 2.6.7-rc2. It's been around for at least two minor releases. The maintainer was contacted regarding merging but failed to respond.
Patch vital to certain laptop users. Please apply. -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.
