Driver is the only place that can create a standard for all applications to use and agree on, otherwise it depends on some arbitrary tool to decide that we are now attaching labels with that name and it will take ages for any other tools to catch up. If its something driver provides, its going to get automatically supported and used the same way by every application. Keeping the old serials is desirable as long as autospawning of devices doesent work, so you can use the serial on the autospawned device, if you need to.The need to know the last seen tool serial doesn't go away, but if I can get it somewhere else, its fine to hid the last serial function. And AFAIK the getHandler mechanism is ideal for that... From what I read in your blog its practically made for updating props with driver data before passing it out.,, BTW, Im a KDE user and the comparable kde daemon, kcm-tablet is still developed outside the kde project as far as I know and as is makes my tablet unable to click anything, so its 100% unusable. -- --Alexia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
