One would need to patch both xserver-xorg-input-evdev and xorg-server. Then, you probably will need to be running a newer kernel than 2.6.32. I would suspect that the kernels from maverick or natty should work fine in lucid. Of course, then you have to build all the utouch stack on top of that :). -- Chase _______________________________________________ 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
