2.6.10 was OK with kernel driver, no changes to X made. 2.6.11 without the Xinput driver was a PITA. With the new driver, it was still worse than 2.6.10, but better than plain 2.6.11. One thing better: the support for scrolling. 2.6.12-rc1 is almost OK with Xinput driver, can't say a thing about plain 2.6.12-rc1.
As for dragging, it was ok in 2.6.10 and previous, but currently broken. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
