Re: Patches for 2.4.0-test7

When I go back to a kernel without new input layer, I have to change all
this back. This wouldn't be necessary if drivers for both /dev/adbmouse
and /dev/input/mice could coexist..

Well, that's the reason why I originally wanted this compatibility code.
However, after more thinking, I figured out that if we do that, all it
will result is yet another configuration mess with users and more support
emails ;)

We'll have the configuration mess either way. And few things are as
frustrating as answering the question 'why does the screen just keep
flashing on me when I boot this new 2.4 kernel, and how do I fix it' a
hundred times.

Note that you can have the new input layer with 2.2 using my kernels. I

Which has working adbmouse if you remove all #ifndef INPUT_MOUSEDEV and
corresponding #endif in adbmouse.c.

still have to verify what's up with Vojtech, but I beleive the input
layer is part of the USB backport, meaning that future "kernel.org"
2.2s+backport will provide the same functionality as 2.4.

Meaning that functionality will be lost ... thanks for the warning.
