I apologize for hijacking the thread, but I remember you suggesting
this patch to me a while back for my remote issues. After much
fiddling and testing and frustration and giving up and trying again...
I finally got my remote working correctly, but without your patch...
so I do still have the crazy spaz-outs that your should address.

Is there any chance of your patch going to an official kernel? I used
to use Slackware so I'm pretty comfortable with the process of
recompiling my kernel. But I'm now using Mythbuntu, which relies much
more heavily on the packaging system. Therefore I'm not sure what is
the proper way to compile my kernel with the patch. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
