It is unlikely to be me unless someone explains to me in detail what needs to 
be done, at which point it is probably quicker for that person to do it. I for 
example don't even understand why this, allegedly HID Multitouch class 
compliant, device needs explicit adding? Is it not compliant after all? Is it 
that multiple HID devices it exposes a non-standard thing? Does it then need a 
vendor specific class (looking at hid-multitouch.c). Sorry this whole area is 
just new and unknown to me.
