[07:46] <ShapeShifter499> hi 
[07:48] <ShapeShifter499> right now I have to compile a kernel with few modules built as static instead to get a trackpad to work
[07:49] <ShapeShifter499> how do I get the kernel devs to merge said changes so I don't always have to compile to update kernels?
[07:50] <ShapeShifter499> This problem affects all Acer C7 Chromebooks who's users (like me) have mod the bios in order to run a stock Ubuntu system in place of Chrome OS
[09:15] <apw> ShapeShifter499, you would want to file a bug against the package 'linux' and describe what you are having to build in and why.  it seems most likely that building them in is not necessary if the appropriate module aliases were present, but we can tell that from that bug
[09:15] <apw> once it is filed shove the bug number in here, so we can find it
