iPod 1st gen scroll whell does not respond in rockbox only

Why hasn't that patch been committed?  It seems good to fix such an issue.  Or is it a hack that will break some other model?  If so, an explanation on the tracker would be useful.

See my comment on the tracker  :)

As far as I know, it shouldn't break anything, and it has apparently worked for every 1G user that tried it.

However the 1G and 2G share a build, and only some 1Gs need the patch. I doubt many other 1G users and virtually no 2G users will have tried the patch (as they have no need!).

My suggestion would be put it in SVN prior to 3.2, to 'force' all 1G and 2G users to test it. If it screws up, revert prior to 3.2.

LambdaCalculus:
I think we should extensively have this patch tested in SVN, to see whether or not it'll break anything else. This problem has been long outstanding, and I was wondering why no one took care of it sooner. I don't have a 1G iPod, but I've tried the patch out and it didn't break anything on my 2G iPod.

yapper:
I forgot to mention in my previous post that I've tested the patch on my 2G iPod on a variety of builds over the past months, and it didn't break anything.

I thought I'd give rockbox another chance and it seems it still will not work on a very early 1st gen ipod (scroll wheel does not work)
It looks like I need to give up on this for good unless someone has one of the patched versions available. The links posted seem to be dead :O(
