I guess it has been limping along, ignoring most of the changes in the xorg code. The aiptek driver in xorg is so far behind to be of no use.=20 For now, I am concentrating on the kernel driver. I am cleaning up the patch / aligning the code with the formatting used in the driver currently in the kernel, so that the patch only contains the real code changes, and not the formatting changes that happened along the way.=20 Once that is submitted, I will see whether I can crash my gimp and focus on the X driver. > > (II) AiptekDispatcher: entry > > (II) AiptekDispatcher device type=3Dstylus, DeviceIntPtr.id=3D0, = request=3DDEVICE_ON > > (II) AiptekDispatcher: type=3Dstylus, ends successfully > > ProcXCloseDevice to close or not ? >=20 > ^^^ Our hint. >=20 >=20 >=20 > = -------------------------------------------------------------------------= > Take Surveys.
