I see you posted evtest output, but could you do the same from the old (working) kernel, and ideally as plain text?

Also am I understanding right that you’re using a dkms driver from the repository you linked?

Just to note… I’m not the author of the blog post, I just shared it b/c I thought it was an interesting story. I don’t think the author is on Lemmy.

The interoperability of Fediverse platforms is so cool!!! Don't even have to leave the site you're on to contact someone in a completely different style of site. I love to see it.

As a long time Linux user, if kernel broke anything for me, and it used to fairly regularly, I would just roll back to previous kernel. Fedora makes it easy, by default you can just boot into previous version by selecting it in grub menu.

File a bug, roll back, keep the bug report subscribed and only update after it’s fixed.

And that’s exactly what happened in your case David. Which is why I’m so happy (also because I fixed the tools from an author I like and already had the books at home :-P):

Really detailed and cool response from the kernel developer. I also found the use of the recent BPF feature to provide a workaround until a proper kernel fix lands really interesting.

That BPF workaround was so cool. I didn’t even realise you could write BPF filters in rust now. Thanks for sharing.
