Yes, an X driver capable of understanding the kernel/mtdev protocol is needed in order to translate to the X world. In Natty, we achieve this by modifying evdev to translate to the XI2.1 protocol. > But starting from 2.6.36 kernel, is this still necessary? The mtdev library will be needed as long as there is hardware and drivers using the type A protocol. It can also be used for hardware testing. It is not likely to go away anytime soon. > What is Ubuntu doing? The above. It would be very interesting to hear about your applications, if you have something to share. :-) Thanks, Henrik _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : multi-touch-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
