Our nuisance problem 'kernel-2.4.xx users must build and use the xorg |
| 5 |
deprecated keyboard driver' is now fixed upstream at X.org, thanks to |
| 6 |
Matthias Muthmann. This closes our beloved bug 61940 as 'Fixed Upstream.' |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
For those who care, there is a patch available. In fact, there are two, |
| 9 |
both at Bug 61940. The first is xorg's CVS diff, indicating a release at |
| 10 |
version 16. The second is a 'diff -u' patch for gentoo use. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you want to try it, get the gentoo patch id=63633, and follow the |
| 13 |
instructions at Comment 24. Or, since they are pretty simple, they are |
| 14 |
duplicated here. |
| 15 |
1. Start a build of your favorite version of xorg-x11; |
| 16 |
2. Once everything is unpacked, |
| 17 |
a. cd ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/xorg-x11-[version]/work |
| 18 |
b. patch -b -z- -p0 < [path-to]/kbd.patch-gentoo |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In fact, this is a 31-line patch, I'll just attach it. If you try it, |
| 21 |
feedback requested. |
