Patching and building your own kernel is indeed a bit non-trivial. Some guides were written already earlier in this thread. Personally I've used this process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
A good first step is to simply check out the right ubuntu kernel, compile it and reboot, then do uname -a to check if you're successfully running your own built kernel. The patch is created with git send-email / git format-patch, so you should be able to apply it to a git repo simply with git am *.patch The patch is against Ubuntu 15.10 kernel, but I expect it to work against newer kernels as well. There are faster ways to try out a driver patch, but this is the process I managed to get working for myself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433906 Title: Acer, Inc ID 5986:055a is useless after 14.04.2 installed.
