Mail sent. For information, I just realized he actually had more recent contributions for the Linux kernel, as recently as 2013 (or else that's another Ping Cheng who also contributes to the Wacom drivers :p): http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/input/tablet/wacom_sys.c?qt=author&q=Ping+Cheng Yet his email for the recent patches is apparently a private (gmail) email now. Which may mean that he does not work for Wacom anymore (or maybe the company politics changed and he is asked to not use his work email anymore for this? Or another reason). Well if the first email does not get any answer, you may want to try the gmail email instead. I don't know (even if not inside the company, he may still have the contacts, who knows). >> In any case, whatever the outcome of this all is, I think we'll be >> interested in knowing what you discovered, and how you improved the >> support for Linux of this device.

Well you could try the Wacom hacker (Ping Cheng) who was contributing to the Linux kernel for the support of Wacom devices: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?id=e694958388c50148389b0e9b9e9e8945cf0f1b98&qt=author&q=wacom This said, he does not seem to have been active anymore since 2009, according to these commit logs, and there does not seem to have been any other dev with a wacom.com email since then either. But you can still try to email him. If the email is still valid (i.e. if he still works at Wacom), he might answer or maybe put you in contact with some other Wacom dev. In any case, whatever the outcome of this all is, I think we'll be interested in knowing what you discovered, and how you improved the support for Linux of this device. Don't hesitate to give some news from time to time. Have fun!
