Thanks Chase. It sounds like support on the open source has some blockers, so for this bug report let's focus on the nwfermi driver.
@djp, thanks for posting the .debs. It appears this contains a GPL'd kernel driver installable via dkms, and a closed binary nwfermi_daemon which is invoked using udev. Can you specify what the distribution terms are for nwfermi_daemon? Is it permissible for us to package and ship it in Ubuntu as a closed source driver? Because this driver does not depend on anything particular on the X side, I guess xserver-xorg-input-evdev is not the best component for it to be filed against, but I'm not certain of what package would be better (linux?) so will leave it here for now. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Wishlist ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379313 Title: Handling NextWindow Touchscreen (multitouch) via the nwfermi (proprietary) driver _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
