Late last year Gary and others volunteered to test my 802b1 build, with a nice test practice from Gary of drawing spirals. It took me a while to get back onto this (apologies - real life intruded in a big way), but I have been working on this again, hoping to close it.
I took 4 laptops (2 with ALPS, 2 w Synaptics) and did my own 802 vs 802B1 bakeoff, following the spiral trail. Results - * No jumpiness for me in the least -- probably because it's winter here. * No observable regressions in the touchpad code -- maybe 802B1 is marginally better, but the more I test the less conclusive it is. Specially when I undo the xset changes... * Going from xset 7/4 0 to 7/4 1 did not make a noticeable improvement -- and does bring the drawback that a fast finger swipe no longer gets you across the screen. This is a usability regression, and I don't have much evidence to show to counter it. I did read in Gary's email that there was a reference to a big sensitivity difference between 802 on one hand and the F11 build and 802B1 on the other. I cannot find this big sensitivity difference. Happy to try again if anyone can suggest what to attempt. So for the 8.2.2 release, current plan is: * The new kernel (with modular psmouse, with the new code) stays. * xset goes back to 7/4 0 thanks all for the continued help and patience. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
