Thanks a lot for bringing this up guys :) yeah it seems to me as well
that writing a in-build kernel driver using evdev would be an awesome
idea, I don't have much experience with this but I am learning :) so
Chase, if you could point me to some resources, and guide me through the
process, I could probably help writing one myself. School is almost over
so I have plenty of time over the summer and I am actually serious about
doing something like this. Thanks again :)
