For now, this is for higher-end tablets, which have reduced functionality in
the default mode. There are three such tablets among currently supported and
probably more among the ones I haven't seen yet.

Yes. The higher-end tablets report in half or even less the resolution
available in proprietary mode. Then, not all the frame controls are
supported properly.

I have contacted Waltop in the beginning of the year and they agreed to help
and already sent me two samples. However, I'm trying to use their help
sparingly. Then, I can't say when I will find the time to do this driver.

Sincerely,
Nick
