As I mentioned to Hans in private, I would be ready to provide the hardware for somebody with a track record to keep, to allow testing and hopefully maintaining that code longer term. I would expect that this sort of hardware is already quite common amongst Windows 8 tablets so it would be very helpful to have working out-of-the-box on a stock Linux. Cheers
