The driver in ubuntu is not the same as what Penmount releases (which is a closed source blob), and this turned into a bug about the closed one. "Active development" is not what I'd say about the driver in the same sentence, as upstream puts it:
"This driver is one of the legacy input drivers that you almost certainly don't want to use. Use the kernel driver instead (if one exists) or write one (if none exists). This release brings the usual input ABI updates, cleanups, etc." That was from the release notes of 1.5.0 release earlier this week. There in fact is a kernel driver for penmount, which means that you should already use the -evdev X driver by default. If not, file a bug against -evdev, same thing if there are problems with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-penmount in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293485 Title: no working driver, problem with hal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-penmount/+bug/293485/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
