That would be ideal. I have the source for the Linux driver available (which includes the x86driver, Linux usb driver, and userland apps) at: http://www.rapidnet.com/~nick/lilliput/touchkit.tgz I REALLY want to get a usb driver written for this thing. Too bad I know jack squat about the usb stack in FreeBSD. I guess it's time to do some serious learning. Any pointers would be helpful. I could use some help if you or anyone is interested and doesn't mind answering stupid questions. -- Nick Rogness <nick@rogness.net> - How many people here have telekenetic powers?
