So even if nothing prevents you from installing the gutsy version, it wont work as the Xinput ABI changed incompatibly. The new package has a virtual provide in place to prevent such bogus combinations in the future. Furthermore, the gutsy version wont build against the new xserver due to API changes. And even would it build, it would fail in the same way the hardy version fails: newer xservers do not call into the ConverProc() function of the driver anymore, so scaling of the hardware position to screen position has to be handled by the driver... (I documented this in the bug report with a link to a thread on the subject from a wacom tablet driver author.) -- Loïc Minier -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
