[KERNEL] "CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-msm7x27" 2.6.35.10 with improved touchscreen driver

---

Hi there!

Remember my touchscreen "fix" a long time ago?
Yes- it's been a long time but now I got Line Runner and I was unable to play it, so...
I wrote the "fix" down again to the newest Cyanogenmod Kernel.

That means:
- I took the source from git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-msm7x27.git
- rewrote the touchscreen driver
- made the default cyanogenmod thunderg config
- made the kernel

I use it with CM nightly and I think that Line Runner runs better now.

What does it do?
I "purged" the driver code (look here) and lowered the touchscreen scan rate to 50Hz (seems sufficient to me). So the cpu has more time to do other things.

How do I send the patch to the CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-msm7x27 maintainers?

Wow your fix was legendary, can you please share the code of your driver? Thanks

I like to send the patch to the cyanogenmod maintainers- but I don't know how.
They use Gerrit, but I can't find lge-kernel-msm7x27 in Gerrit.

Maybe via github

Can you do a pull request to their github? Can you share the .diff of your code so I could test it?

So... What does this fix exactly?

Aah- I see. I was not using github.
Now I have forked it in my github account and made a pull request.
I will edit my first post to point to my github account.

Thanks, just included it. You'll get tons of reviews later today when I release my kernel with your fix
