Re: ELAN Touchscreen regression in recent 3.12 rc's? (USB)

[AceLan Kao]

Hi,

Sorry, no thoughts about this.
If Kevin would like to try, I can bisect the kernel and build the
Ubuntu .deb package for him.
But like I say above, those 4 commits doesn't look like to lead to the
problem, so I'll try to bisect the whole kernel.

% git bisect start v3.12-rc7 v3.12-rc6
Bisecting: 165 revisions left to test after this (roughly 7 steps)
[edd31476011052d8f6591a3194ba0716b0cea681] bnx2x: Set NETIF_F_HIGHDMA
unconditionally

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.
