Subject: N-Trig Device Enablement Plan for Lucid
Hey Rafi, here's the plan we've put together:
* First, stage the kernel and X driver changes within Bryce's
xorg-edgers PPA [1]...similar to how we tested nouveau support.
Andy Whitcroft believes we should be able to enable
all 7 kernel
drivers for multi-touch, including N-Trig, as they
are fairly
self-contained.
* We will then ask you to perform some initial testing of the
N-trig driver and X packages to make sure the experience they
provide matches his expectations. We'd also like your advice on
which apps we should use to test basic single and multi-touch
functionality.
* We can then do a call for testing in Beta 1 against the PPA.
We'd specifically like those with N-Trig to test, but would
welcome users of the other drivers as well as those without
support to test also...to be sure we don't introduce any X
related regressions. Ironically, Bryan Murray from our QA team
has one of the supported HP N-Trig laptops, so he will be a
perfect lead of this test effort. We'd like leverage your
expertise in addressing any bugs opened, if possible.
* Finally, we will assess the stability before the Beta 2
release, and decide whether or not to push the kernel and X
updates into Lucid, or just put them into a PPA created
exclusively for touch enablement in Lucid. Then, assuming the
base enablement code stabilizes in the upstream kernel and X
trees, we can push the packages into 10.04.1.
