vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc1 kernel config
If I read the problem correctly, nothing in X is doing anything wrong, although this could be an incompatibility with 2.6.13. I'll re-assign to kernel, and if they think it's X's problem they can assign back. In any case, this is probably not a Gentoo problem and thus you should post this bug upstream. Please read: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html Then post the bug at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ Then post a link to the bug here. Thanks :) Oh, and if this is an X bug post to: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ I'd maybe find out first which is at fault, X or the kernel. Possibly do some snooping around on either Bugzilla as the problem may have already been found. Maybe someone else from either involved herd has a better idea on finding out what's at fault? x11 doesn't maintain linuxwacom. Right, I wrote another answer to this and I've got no idea where it went, so if it shows up later or in the wrong bug I appologize. The kernel bugzilla has no mention. The Xorg bugzilla seems to suggest that their version of the wacom driver is out of date and linuxwacom should be used. Unfortunately linuxwacom seems not to support dlloader, so for all us hardened people we've got to use the inbuilt one, which ironically is now deprecated for Xorg 7.0, even though I think they're intending to make dlloader the default driver startup mechanism too. Great. I'm about to go post to their bugzilla to alert of them of this discrepancy. Anyway, in the meantime, I can't tell if it's the old driver, or if it's a real bug, and I can't tell whether I should report it or not, and if so who to. I'm tempted just to alert both of them and keep them in contact with each other until one of them figures it out, but I don't want to give either team unnecessary bugs. Any advice, anyone? Thanks, Mike 5:) Sounds more on the kernel side to me. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and post the new bug URL here. Thanks :) Ok, There's now a kernel bug on this problem at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4905 If they tell me to go to Xorg, I'll file on there too and report back here... Did you determine a solution for this? We're still working on it. It appears that the kernel module combined with the X module from the recent linxuwacom-0.6.9 seem to almost completely cure the problem, however there's still the occasional jump. It's definitely useable now (which earlier it hadn't been) and I'm going to try to continue working with Ping to sort out the problem. Hopefully he'll commit the new wacom.c directly into the 2.6.13_rc7 kernel. I'll keep this bug posted as to what's going on... reopening/reassigning Oops, no need to do that as 2.6.12 is not affected. |
