It's being recognized as a HID device, and using hid-device-dump, I can nicely read the reports of both fingers. There's also some hacks floating around which use xf86-input-hidtouch, but AFAICT that doesn't do any kind of multitouch. >>From lurking here on the list, I've gathered that the evdev interface by now fully supports all kinds of multitouch events, so I guess the preferred way would be a hiddev-to-evdev bridge of some kind, right? Can somebody point me into the right direction, e.g. to some other driver which also works that way? Many thanks, Florian -- "_Nothing_ brightens up my morning.
