Comment 46 for bug 1414930

Status update:
The kernel patches are now in Dmitry's branch and queued for 4.0
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git/commit/?h=for-linus&id=6067fe5e0bf29f525561c8281d01011cfc9ebbd4

There will _not_ be a patch to the synaptics driver (or libinput). The kernel patches re-route the trackstrick buttons correctly so we don't need userspace to fix this up any. The commit that was already on the branch has been reverted, see:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?id=5378a020a003cbdfa565d43c9e01997b570059c9

For distributions: if you are partially backporting Benjamin's kernel patches make sure you either re-instate that synaptics commit or backport the button re-routing patches.
