http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/attachment/ticket/2006/0001-touchpad-with-finger-mode-default.patch defaults to capacitive on boot. It no longer uses the FLAG_FILE and thus that file is no longer needed by your patch either. Its presence will not impact the functionality, as far as I know. I've tested this on 258py. I'd appreciate your doing a quick review just to make sure I didn't miss anything. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
