Here is my concern. If the HID layer is fixed to support Digitizers which means we would no longer need separate drivers, then how are we(Digitizer manufacturers) supposed to get the digitizer input before the X Mouse driver takes it? Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm still learning.

It would be good to learn more about this, so possibly we can fix the HID layer so that it works for everyone and these drivers can go away. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
