I'd actually dare to say very little.. It all probably comes down to access to hardware, to some extent documentation, to some extent skill in reverse engineering the protocol used, and of course time to put time into this. > > I'm definetly willing to offer some time, efforts, whatever to get this > > working.

The following feature request contains some information (just so we have a connection from this thread to it): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1593330&group_id=69596&atid=525127 > > From what I've tried by now, I'm not getting any events from the > > touchpanel by querying the /dev/input/event* devices so I'm almost at > > the beginning of getting the bits together. > > > > Thanks in advance for any insights, pointers, ideas... Personally I'm investing my time into the hotplugger client program, but it would be nice to see these TabletPCs become supported as well (less to blacklist for me). As I lack pretty much everything to work with these, I'm afraid I can more or less only help out to review code... When you start producing patches on the driver, I think it probably will be worth putting these into our git-repo [1] at once. Maybe not into master right away, but at least into a separate branch. This way this work can be made more visible, without actually affecting the normal driver development.
