I have committed the latest version of the patch Christopher sent (sans defconfig and gta01 platform changes that do not really belong there) to synaptics-rmi4 branch of my tree on kernel.org. I branched it off 2.6.35 release so it should be reasonably usable. I shall be accepting patches applicable to that branch and if other community players (Arce and others) will have time to work on the driver - that would be great. Hope this helps. -- Dmitry
