Mark,
Had a call[1] today to discuss our plan for enabling the N-Trig
support
for Lucid, and I wanted to sanity check it with you...before we get
too
far into it. Here's the plan:
* First stage the kernel and X driver changes within Bryce's
xorg-edgers PPA...similar to how we tested nouveau support.
Andy
believes we should be able to enable all 7 kernel drivers for
multi-touch, including N-Trig, as they are fairly
self-contained.
On the X side, the last two days have been productive and the basic
packaging work is complete:
* multitouch PPA created
* -evdev has multitouch support added (in PPA)
* -wacom has the N-Trig hw support (in Lucid)
* -evtouch is fixed to build again (in Lucid)
* multitouchd daemon packaged (in PPA)
The PPA is coming together here:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/multitouch/+packages
I still need to get the daemon to actually init and start
automatically
but ran out of time this week. Plus I've never packaged a daemon
before
so this is a bit of a learning experience. Project for Monday.
After that, it's on to testing...
Bryce
