doesn't work with kernel 4.1.2 #8

Closed destan closed 9 years ago

I have installed https://github.com/SicVolo/hid-apple-4.1.2 and then installed this patch, the keyboard didn't worked at all and after rebooting it was restored as intended.

is there any plan to make it work with kernel 4.1.2?

It doesn't seem to be a kernel 4.1.2 problem, it's a conflict with patches from custom SicVolo's repository because both use the same hid-apple kernel module. You've probably messed up the code from two incompatible projects, it won't work.

What you can do: 1) Wait for SicVolo patches to get to the main stream and wait when I or somebody else will fix my patches to compatible with the updated modified kernel. 2) Or ask kernel maintainers to commit my patch to the mainstream kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/213 and wait for SicVolo or somebody else to update his patches to the updated kernel version.
