+
+In certain situations kernel tracking seems to be getting confused
+and incorrectly reporting the slot of a contact. On example is when
+the user does a three finger click or tap and then places two fingers
+on the touchpad in the same area. The kernel tracking code seems to
+continue to think that there are three contacts on the touchpad and
+incorrectly alternates the slot of one of the contacts. The result that
+is the input subsystem reports a stream of button press and release
+events as the reported slot changes.
+
+Kernel tracking was originally enabled to prevent cursor jumps, but it
+is unclear how much of an issue kernel jumps actually are. This patch
+simply disabled kernel tracking for now.
