Touchscreen fixes #14

Closed frebib closed 8 years ago

frebib commented 8 years ago

Hi there, From what others have been saying, the following patches fix the touchscreen from suddenly stopping working in 4.4 and I assume 4.3 too. https://github.com/tiggerite/mint-17.3-for-surface-pro-3/blob/master/patches-4.4/HID-multitouch-Add-MT_QUIRK_NOT_SEEN_MEANS_UP-to-MT_.patch https://github.com/tiggerite/mint-17.3-for-surface-pro-3/blob/master/patches-4.4/HID-multitouch-Ignore-invalid-reports.patch They have already been included in the Fedora SP3 kernel and the kernel above, it seems good reports so far I've personally not tried these patches as my surface is away for repair but is there a chance they can be included? Thanks

Update: Compatible with 4.{3,4} according to the author. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/406z9n/how_well_does_arch_run_on_an_sp3/cyv5u54?context=3

Hi @frebib ,

Sorry about the delay. I didn't get any notifications, and don't check this very frequently. If I can get multitouch patches working again in 4.4, I'll include these too (though this has never actually been a problem for me).

Best, M

These are now included, btw :). Thanks for pointing them out.
