Thanks hololight currently running your kernel and it rocks

As always, we appreciate the time holo!
I had a quick question, if anyone who has flashed this already is willing to test for me. It's more of a hunch.
Some of you may be aware that our stock phones have been plagued by a Swype bug that makes it near impossible to use (at least with any kind of speed.) If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, bring up a Swype board and just try Swyping back and forth quickly. Swype will input a lot of random small words because it can't keep up.
Now do that on any other phone and you can't get it to chop up like that. It makes Swype worthless if you swipe too quickly. The current theory is that it has something to do with the aspect ratio and resolution, but I'm wondering if this kernel improved this specific issue for anyone?
In any case, I will be flashing later today when I get home from work today anyway. Thanks again!
I just tried Swyping consolidated purchasing incorporated it didn't chop up for me at all. I'm pretty sure I am a fast Swyper. Hope it helps

That gives me tremendous hope, friend! Thanks for trying that out for me! An easier way would just be to take your pointer finger and swipe back and forth stupidly fast, . It will either not do anything (that's a good thing) or it will keep thinking that you ghost-lifted your finger and then kept going and enter random small words. Either way, thanks!
For your pleasure, here is a new kernel for the ATT Galaxy Note. This kernel is forked from Da_G's Overclock kernel, so you are still getting all the features of that excellent piece of code.
For those a bit confused as to what 'Ghost thouch' is, and why it is removed:
Samsung added a bit of code to the touchscreen driver on the non-intl version of the note to detect 'ghost' touch input events, similar to the raindrop detection on the original Motorola Atrix (and others). While a nice idea on paper, this had un-intended consequences when trying to perform multi-touch input that continues longer than around 5 seconds; such as playing some games. It is now disabled in this kernel.
Edit: There also seems to be a pleasant side effect that I hadn't noticed... keyboard input is improved. Makes sense I suppose, since now there isn't this constant check for false touches slowing things down. Let me know if you see this on your device.
Please READ:
1. I have only tested this kernel on the ATT Galaxy Note running stock rom
2. This kernel has no option to turn ghost touch detection on and off (I am considering this for version 0.2)
3. I will likely not fix the issues where more than 6 fingers are not reliably detected.... why do you need that many fingers on the screen??
4. As always, you are flashing something on to your expensive phone and it very well could kill you, burn [more] holes in the ozone layer, intoxicate innocent kittens, etc. (oh, and break your phone). You always flash at your own risk.
5. The only change at the moment over Da_G's 0.2 kernel is the touchscreen stated above. As such, all the other good or bad remains the same.
Have fun, Let me know what you think.

Kallsyms version of my Kernel is now up (file ending with suffix 'k'). Please confirm that it is working for you guys that use that feature (I do not).
An oversight of mine has resulted in android reporting kernel version unavailable. This should be fixed tonight but im the meantime, apps such as cpuspy reports correct kernel name.

The kernel should not be installing su and busybox at each boot. This kernel uses Da_G's su/busybox install script to install su/busybox. Once installed, it should never install again. Granted, su and busybox are forever in the ramdisk, and it is checked each boot.
Understood, look for it later today along with the kernel name fixed.

Omniphil: what are you using to set clock and governor? I am not having this issue.

Any chance of getting this with the kallsysms function that DA_G implemented in one version of his kernel 0.2? Thanks it would allow us more screen improvement with the touchscreentune app available (which works well to re-calibrate the pens offsets btw)?
