Hi Chase,

I know you are all at UDS (Stéphane is there too) and you all seem to be 
very busy...

The point is that one of the three patch (the most critic one, 
concerning hid-core) is already in 2.6.36. So it should be back-ported 
in 2.6.35 as without it, the device is totally ignored by hid.

Concerning the two other patches, the point is that Stéphane is working 
on a generic-multitouch driver: I do not want to make too much noise on 
linux-input for a driver which is going to die while the generic one is 
coming... I was planning to send patches again the generic one and not 
the "old" one.

BTW, have a good UDS !

Cheers,
Benjamin

PS: thanks for the kernel-team link, I'll send there my patches again. ;)
