I sent some patches upstream to fix some input bugs, and the upstream authors changed the patches a bit and now they're included in 2.6.8. What I'm submitting is the actual patch that made it into 2.6.8. One patch fixes an issue with wacom tablets that was introduced between two of the 2.6.7 rcs. The other fixes an issue with mouse clicking printing a key when using belkin KVMs (and possibly other input devices).
Created attachment 35818 [details, diff] mouseclick fix this fixes the mouseclick-printing-characters bug
Created attachment 35820 [details, diff] wacom.patch this fixes the bug with wacom tablets (and other absoulute-position devices) introduced in the 2.6.7 rcs
Additionally, asm-sparc/signal.h needs a '#include <linux/compiler>' because it uses __user on line 214 and later. Thanks, Greg... These are not critical, so no need to rush them... just throw them in with the next release.
Care to add a patch for this last sparc related change? These look good, I'll add them in the next kernel release we make.

Ok, these patches are now in g-d-s 2.6.7-r13
the mouseclickfix and wacom patches in the 2.6-7.46 patchset apply against 2.6.8-gentoo-r4 and should be reincluded in the next patchset.
wacom and mouseclick are back in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r6. mouseclick fix is merged into 2.6.9-rc3, but the code that the wacom patch modifies has changed a fair bit so the patch no longer applies. If the wacom fix is still needed when 2.6.9 appears, please submit it again :)
