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. > The ones currently supported by hid-waltop seem to be covered pretty > nicely with only report descriptors fixups being necessary; is this still > a limited support not covering the full device capabilities? 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
