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
