Description José Jorge 2015-10-27 18:56:21 CET

Description of problem:
The touchpad is unusable after applying the 4.1.8 kernel update. Rebooting with 3.19 kernel brings back the touchpad.


This is an AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad of a Dell Latitude D600. What is the Mageia way to bisect the kernel?

Reproducible:

no need to bisect it, I have already queued a fix for it:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/5/kernel/current/PATCHES/patches/input-alps-Only-the-Dell-Latitude-D420_430_620_630-have-separate-stick-button-bits.patch?view=markup

I will push a 4.1.12 based kernel to updates_testing later tonight
