-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
(No answer for the call for GPL and getting the driver in the official kernel...yet...) But as it is very dangerous, and also very difficullt, to use a mouse in a car..(while driving), i tried to build the suggested driver for 'specific' kernel.. Helas, it did not build. So i wrote to 3M about it: [snip] > + rm -rf /var/tmp/TWDrv-5.64-root > + KVER=2.6.18.8-0.3-default > + export KVER > + cd TwDrvKit > + make clean > + make > make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-default/build > SUBDIRS=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/TWDrv-5.64/TwDrvKit modules > make[2]: *** Er is geen regel om doel 'modules' te maken.

Possible reason, according to an associate from 3M, jgmciver: > Good Afternoon: > I think the kernel that you are using made devfs obsolete in favor of using > udev.

The Kernel indeed uses udev, if i recall correct.. But if so, is there something to be done about it, to get the driver built? Or, as TWDrv, is indeed a proprietary driver, this can only be fixed by its maintainer?..... (i would realy hate it, to have to go back M$, to have a working touchscreen..:-( (In my reply I asked for the reason not to want a GPL for the driver, and told him about the miljons of people all over the world, that would be happy, if they could use a touchscreen under linux, which would be possible, when the driver would be in the official kernel... ) - -- Have a nice day, M9.
