[ltp] Re: How to compile the Trackpoint Driver

I don't know how it worked, but it did:

Took a new fresh 2.6.9 without any patches, applied the trackpoint patch 
(which applies cleanly anyway), and changed one line in 
drivers/input/mouse/trackpoint.h which is as follows:

...
struct trackpoint_data
{
         spinlock_t spinlock; <-- was: "spinlock_t lock;"

         unsigned char firmware_id;
...

I don't know why it was "lock" before, since that member isn't used 
anywhere in the source, and I also don't know why the patches don't 
"fix" that... Somethings wrong with someones kernel tree or system...

But after this procedure the kernel compiles without any problem.
