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

[AceLan Kao]

Hi Kevin,

http://people.canonical.com/~acelan/elan_touchscreen/
Here are the kernels, please test them one by one and tell me which one works.
As your description, the first one should work, and the second one doesn't,
I just want to make sure that, so I build the rc6 and rc7 kernel to test.
Thanks.

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.
