-blather-
It took a few days before I actually saw this posting. I also agree that
2.6.10 seems to be more stable than 2.6.11 - mind you, that could be
because I'm using 2.6.10-linus (i.e. the tarball from the linux.org site)
and the 2.6.11 is a Mandrake-ised kernel + Linus patches - at least I
*think* they're Linus' patches - no Visual Basic in them yet.
I've also noted .10 is quicker off the blocks than 2.6.11 seems to be.
-meat-
I did note something strange. I'm running 2.6.11.2 at this moment, when I
tried 2.6.11.3, my USB Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse stopped moving
from left to right, and would only move up and down if I physically moved
the mouse from left to right. I didn't see anything in the patches that
touched anything in the event handling, so frankly I'm puzzled.
Any clues as to where I need to look? I've seen this problem before, but
don't know what causes it, nor how I fixed it at the time.
Also, how do I get that patch that enables the tiltwheel (left-right
events)?
-blather-
I'll try out .5 once I fetch the patch and spend another three hours on my
cluster, compiling. Again. The reason I haven't dipped into real testing
of kernels was precisely for this reason, that I didn't want to have to
spend absolutely ages waiting for a compile. However, I've finally decided
to dip my toes back in the water, with the 2.6.11 series...
Love the Suspend-to-disk... only wish I could load a saved image into a
later kernel, though I understand why this can't be done. That would be my
current "killer app".
'Nuff mumbling.
CC if you wish, but I ought to be watching the list again for this one.

Could you please test 2.6.12-rc1?

Yeesh. You ARE keen, aren't you. I'll attempt to do so over the next day or
so. Thanks.

Got it compiled this evening. How many days do you want me to run it for? A
week? Can I test out the suspend-to-disk on this release too?
Thanks for your attention on this.

Well it should take about seven seconds to work out if the mouse movement
is still broken?

Please do.
