[01:52] <openfly> Hey all are there any immediate plans to re-add raw1394 and ohci1394 support to the 11.04 kernel?
[08:56] <eruditehermit> hey, is there a ppa with kernel 3.0.0 rc4 for natty?
[08:57] <eruditehermit> or a ppa with mainline builds for natty
[14:36] <htorque> hello everyone! i got a question about bug 760142: if there was a fix, would it be backported to natty?
[14:36] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 760142 in linux "Several Ubuntu-certified Dell laptops: ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint configure as PS/2 mouse instead of proper touchpad" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/760142
[14:38] <apw> htorque, it always depends on how intrusive the fix is, how specific to the h/w it fixes, and how likely it is deemed to regress other non-matching h/w
[14:38] <apw> if it 2k l
[14:38] <apw> if it 2k lines of change its going to be a no
[14:39] <apw> htorque, last i heard there still wasn't a proper fix cause alps were refusing to tell people how it worked
[14:44] <htorque> apw: ok, thanks for the comment :-)
[14:44] <apw> htorque, do you have an actual fix ?
[14:45] <htorque> apw: oh no, i just asked here to help answering a question at askubuntu.com
[14:45] <htorque> apw: but it seems quite unlucky that this is happening with ubuntu certified hardware :(
[14:45] <apw> htorque, its certified with a working touchpad, just not very well
[14:46] <apw> htorque, we are really not in control over the h/w vendors who keep stuff secret
[14:46] <apw> htorque, they are mad imo
[14:46] <htorque> apw: i know and i agree :-)
