[Solved] Applying synaptic patch for eviocgbit issue

My computer has been freezing randomly and looking through the logs I've been getting the following error:

Nov 21 12:28:20 archlinux evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64 bytes. See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html

So there is a patch available at the link: http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/synapti … gbit.patch, but I have no idea how to apply it.

Any help would be appriciated

I think I found the solution in post 546, in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=439406

I'll post again if it doesn't work

Thanks
Jeff
