Cool. Gustavo contacted me a couple of days ago and I gave him a longer winded but similar story then, cc'ing David Martinez Moreno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (who may be on this list now also) who took an interest in this while the X driver was part of the X source, and who I discussed xorg.conf support with previously. The xorg maintainers were pretty busy shaking down the xorg7 transition issues last I heard from ender, so I'm mostly waiting on a ping from them about a good time to look at it further... I'd be really happy if this all comes together in time for etch. cheers, Ron _______________________________________________ Linuxwacom-discuss mailing list Linuxwacom-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxwacom-discuss
