Hope this is the last time that I need to explain it here :). The Bamboo kernel driver included in the linuxwacom package does not use the _MT_ protocol (we started before the protocol was available). The kernel input tree maintainer, aka Dmitry, will not accept our patch unless it is MT based. Henrik has submitted an MT based patch for Bamboo, touch-only model, recently. We'll see how that one goes. Chris, are you interested in making a kernel patch for Dmitrybased on our existing kernel bamboo code to support other Bamboo models after Henrik's patch is accepted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
