Bug fix for magic trackpad on 2.6.37

 

Hi everyone,

I booted up 2.6.37 today to find that gestures weren't working from my
magic trackpad. Due to a change made in the magicmouse driver, the
trackpad was saying it provided relative axis data. This throws off
grail, and failure ensues.

I have pushed a patch up to the linux-input mailing list in the hopes
that it will be fixed before 2.6.37 final. In the meantime, if you run
Ubuntu on 2.6.37 and need magic trackpad gestures, feel free to install
the hid-magicmouse-dkms package available in the utouch-team/utouch ppa.

Thanks,
