The patch in question should bring things back up to spec. Ok, I've already spoken with Zephenia on IRC and I'm going to apply this patch for the next 6.9 update. Hopefully this will solve a lot of the problems I caused by removing the mouse driver evdev implementation in the last 6.9 upload, and will also help get the driver in better shape for its next upstream release. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
