Comment 41 for bug 133060

Well, the fix worked again, and I now have a patched x64 version of 1.2.2.
Thanks again.

FYI, on my end the patch applies at line 2090. There isn't even a line 2518
in that file. The difficulty for me (who doesn't really know what he's
doing) is tracking where the patch is placed as the driver is updated. Does
anyone know if this will ever just be incorporated in the driver itself, or
where I should go to request that? Previous posts said it had been fixed
upstream, but clearly it hasn't been. Also, it's not an Ubuntu or Debian
issue, but a universal problem for this touchpad (I'm assuming the same in
the e1405/e1505/e1705) in Linux (same poor functionality across distros).
