Hi, It's a Cirque PowerCat GDB450 (it's a TouchPad), and no, there is no Linux driver on their site - but - they did release internals to a Linux developer way back, and there was a working 2.4 kernel driver (named kitkat) that I have the source to, and have had running under Fedora 3. I asked Crique about a Linux driver a while back, and sent one of their developers the src tarball I had (since he was not aware of it). Anyway, still waiting on progress on that front from Cirque. Otherwiise, I can possibly get XP in a virtualbox to work with it & then use UltraVNC+x11vnc or NX to get back to the main Linux box (a bit roundabout, but it would work). The mouse only supports a PS/2 or Serial port - I did buy one of the newer Cirque USB model touchpads, but for me they aren't much chop (ergonomically) compared to the PowerCat & so I don't use that one much. The (less preferable option someone else suggested was to use a separate box (ex. my XP laptop for the mouse & remote in that way) - less preferred, but I can go that way if need be.
Sorry if I picked the wrong list. I don't know how to switch this to luv-talk but if it can be done then sure, otherwise continue it there or here ? Thanks Andrew At 12:29 PM 5/01/2013, Trent W.
