Package: joystick
Version: 20051019-1
Severity: wishlist

There is a newer version of inputattach.c available here: 
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dtor/inputattach.c

I found it using a Google search. It appears to have some signifcant 
differences from the version in Debian. That version works with Elo 
touchscreens - e.g. using "modprobe elo; inputattach --elotouch /dev/ttyS0".

inputattach in Etch, doesn't work in this mode. It doesn't support 
the option "--elotouch" (even though it appears to accept it without 
an error). 

Etch already includes the required kernel driver "elo.ko", but it seems 
that there is no way at all to use it with Etch'es version of inputattach.

I think that ideally inputattach should be upgraded to the newer version
and separated in its own package.
