Hi all,
I'm interested in getting involved in kernel development. I compiled the latest kernel and found that it broke the tap feature on my asus x54h k54l. I had a look at the way the devices were interpreted and /proc/bus/input/devices gave different results. This seems like it may be a good starting point but I'm not sure where to go from here or whether it's an issue with the kernel. I presume it is as switching back to the older kernel fixes the tapping for left click.
Likely you found regression here. I think the key here is by using git feature called "bisect" to find out the culprit. This might require repetitive kernel build and re test. It's kinda trial work, only here you got help from git as the revision control. Once you found the commit that introduce the bug, you can either remove that (of course, without introducing instability) or improve it. It all might sound easy, but require patience and time. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
