7. make this script executable
chmod +x make-ubuntu-kernel.sh
8. Start the script with your new kernel-variant as parameter
./make-ubuntu-kernel.sh dellv13
9. be sure you press CTRL-D, when it asks "Ă„nderungen im git-Verzeichnis verwerfen" (revert changes made in the git-dir), as this would revert the previous applied patch.
10. you can also press CTRL-D when it asks "Kernel-Konfiguration bearbeiten" (edit kernel configuration), because you already copied your latest config in step 5.
11. Press Return for all the other questions and start compiling. Now wait for a long time. It took at least 1,5 hours on my Core2Duo SU7300.
12. Now you can find the following files in your home-dir (version number may differ):
linux-doc_2.6.35-25.43_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.35-25_2.6.35-25.43_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.35-25-dellv13_2.6.35-25.43_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.35-25-dellv13_2.6.35-25.43_amd64.deb
linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-25.43_all.deb
linux-tools-common_2.6.35-25.43_all.deb
13. Cd up and install new kernel with headers:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.35-25_2.6.35-25.43_all.deb linux-headers-2.6.35-25-dellv13_2.6.35-25.43_amd64.deb linux-image-2.6.35-25-dellv13_2.6.35-25.43_amd64.deb
14. Restart and select your new kernel in your bootmanager grub. Enjoy your working touchpad!
Once again: Thank you very much Marcin.
I hope this patch will be integrated in future kernel releases.
Happy New Year everyone.
I applied the patch yesterday on maverick and it works like a charm.
Thank you very much Marcin!
For everyone, who never compiled a kernel before, here's a description of how to do it for the latest ubuntu release maverick meercat.
I followed this tutorial (in german, sorry): wiki.ubuntuuser s.de/Kernel/ Kompilierung
http://
1. Open a terminal and get a copy of the latest git-repository ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ ubuntu- maverick. git
git clone git://kernel.
2. Change into the directory ubuntu-maverick
cd ubuntu-maverick
3. Download the patch, name it v13.patch and save it in your home-directory. /bugzilla. kernel. org/attachment. cgi?id= 41862
https:/
4. Apply the patch
patch -p1 < ../v13.patch
5. Copy your latest existing config from /boot, ie (version number may differ): 2.6.35- 24-generic .config
cp /boot/config-
6. Download this shell-script and place it in your ubuntu-maverick directory. It's written in german, but it does all the work for you. wiki.ubuntuuser s.de/_attachmen t?target= Kernel% 2Fmake- ubuntu- kernel. sh
http://
7. make this script executable kernel. sh
chmod +x make-ubuntu-
8. Start the script with your new kernel-variant as parameter ubuntu- kernel. sh dellv13
./make-
9. be sure you press CTRL-D, when it asks "Ă„nderungen im git-Verzeichnis verwerfen" (revert changes made in the git-dir), as this would revert the previous applied patch.
10. you can also press CTRL-D when it asks "Kernel- Konfiguration bearbeiten" (edit kernel configuration), because you already copied your latest config in step 5.
11. Press Return for all the other questions and start compiling. Now wait for a long time. It took at least 1,5 hours on my Core2Duo SU7300.
12. Now you can find the following files in your home-dir (version number may differ): 2.6.35- 25.43_all. deb 2.6.35- 25_2.6. 35-25.43_ all.deb 2.6.35- 25-dellv13_ 2.6.35- 25.43_amd64. deb 2.6.35- 25-dellv13_ 2.6.35- 25.43_amd64. deb 2.6.35_ 2.6.35- 25.43_all. deb common_ 2.6.35- 25.43_all. deb
