I just updated my tree here: <a href="https://github.com/bentiss/linux/commits/synaptics-rmi4-smbus-v4.8-rc1">https://github.com/bentiss/linux/commits/synaptics-rmi4-smbus-v4.8-rc1</a>+ (branch synaptics-rmi4-smbus-v4.8-rc1+ then). This is somethign I am more happy about and I think I'll submit those in tomorrow or by Friday. If you are not feeling OK taking my various merges, you can just take a 4.8-rc* and stack up the 12 patches I committed today (from "Input: synaptics-rmi4 - add SMBus support") > > Thanks for doing such excellent legwork on this!

I can't recall the exact list, but I think the main issue is that the PS/2 version of the driver doesn't track more than 2 fingers, which means we have some weird corner cases when 3 or 4 fingers are put and released. Using RMI4 allows 5 true touches, which is much better :)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
