Okay, I'm pacing along. I've actually managed to run the "make menuconfig" command successfully. I've also made the necessary changes in the menu the install manual is talking about.

But now it also asks me to make changes to the source code. Now I'm completely stuck. Could somebody please help me and tell me how to do this?

The manual says:

6-1-2 Kernel source patch If your Linux kernel version is 3.8.0 upwards and using resistive or SCAP touch controller, please comment the following RED section in your source code.

/SourceCode/drivers/hid/hid-core.c
bool hid_ignore(struct hid_device *hdev)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
…
switch (hdev->vendor) {
…
/*case USB_VENDOR_ID_DWAV:*/
/* These are handled by usbtouchscreen. hdev->type is probably
* HID_TYPE_USBNONE, but we say !HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE to match
* usbtouchscreen. */
/*if ((hdev->product == USB_DEVICE_ID_EGALAX_TOUCHCONTROLLER ||
hdev->product == USB_DEVICE_ID_DWAV_TOUCHCONTROLLER) &&
hdev->type != HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE)
return true;
break;*/
…
}
…
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, I need to rebuild the kernel.

Could somebody please help me with this? Where so I make these changes and how do I rebuild the kernel?

Thanks!!
