Hmm, actually I'm surprised it even compiles.  There were missing
symbols trying to build with 2.4.13...

It's not that simple.  The problem(s) I'm aware of, mostly relate
to the device rebinding code, used by this package (and the cpad
one), which is not from the upstream distribution -- but which is
required to distribute it as a standalone module.  We've talked
about pushing it upstream, but as you can see, after a couple of
years things are back in flux again.

To use the current pristine upstream source, you'll probably need
to (patch and) rebuild your kernel core instead of just adding an
extra module.

Supporting this better is a work in progress on lk afaik, things
certainly seem to be changing -- and there are newer versions
of the wacom driver integrated with the Linus kernel too.  I'm
not sure if they are now sufficient by themselves for many people.
Upstream still requires some ugly patches to unrelated kernel parts
to avoid the device being bound by the wrong drivers...

At this stage, someone either needs to do some legwork and throw
me a bone about what sort of changes we should make to do things
the '2.6.14' way -- or you'll need to be patient until things
settle down again and I can find the time to do just that.

There are other options if this is really urgent for somebody.
Anyone with time to help, or some other case to push this up my
todo list, is welcome to get in touch.

best,
Ron
