Hi all, Thats cool that a kernel driver is getting created. I think only time will tell which is the best way of doing things. I use touchd everyday and have no problems. I think that its architecture is expandable when better hardware comes along but until then I don't have much motivation to do more. Its totally possible to use a kernel module with touchd but it would need some rework. I don't mind if discussions of other ways of doing it exist. It makes it easier for me to follow. :-) I have an internship this summer so I won't be doing much on touchd. I also have other projects that have been on my mind more. Ultimately, I hope that touchd help move things along. It works for me and thats what I need. What happens next is not much of a concern for me. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely be following along and giving my feedback. Cheers, Scott P.S. I think your messages are getting caught because the email is not subscribed to the list. I'm a bit slow on letting them through.
