It's badged as a Packard Bell GT100, but /proc/bus/usb/devices says it's really a UC-LOGIC WP8060U. I have the driver compiled and working on my system, and I'd like to submit it for inclusion in XFree86. This will be the first time I've submitted a new module to an Open Source project, so can someone advise me on what to do next? Open a bug on http://bugs.xfree86.org/ and post your patch there. One specific question - I've based my driver on the Wacom driver, but there have been numerous changes (it wouldn't work with the Wacom tablet now). Should I change the copyright statement to my own name, with credit to the authors of the Wacom driver, or leave it as it is and add myself as a co-author? It's generally accepted practice to put put your name on the copyright even if you based the code on another driver since you were the one to put it together and get it working for your hardware.

The attribution should be a separate entry (e.g., line or paragraph) to avoid confusing it with the original one. -- Thomas E.
