Subject[PATCH 1/4] Make mousedev.c report all events to user space immediately
From
Date
mousedev_packet() incorrectly clears list->ready when called with
"tail == head - 1". The effect is that the last mouse event from the
hardware isn't reported to user space until another hardware mouse
event arrives. This can make the left mouse button get stuck when
tapping on a touchpad. When this happens, the button doesn't unstick
until the next time you interact with the touchpad.
