OK. I started all over on this same laptop with a fresh install of 14.04.2 which I also updated. Then from the mainline kernel list I downloaded the three relevant files inside v3.13-trusty. After reboot the keyboard wasn't responding. Then back to v4.0-rc2-vivid/ on which the keyboard was fine. Going halfway between the two back and forth, the 'last bad commit' as you called it was v3.17-rc5-utopic/ and right above it in the list v3.17-rc6-utopic/ which was the first good one where my keyboard functioned properly. Just to confirm my results I tested v3.17-rc4-utopic/ where the keyboard also didn't respond. Moreover v3.17-rc4-utopic/ right above the first good commit was checked and the keyboard was fine. There are other details in the wiki about using github but I'm afraid they weren't very clear to me.
Hope that was helpful. On Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 5:51 PM, Bashar Maree <bma...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think I roughly understand this requirement.
