Yeah.. I wrote a patch for it a while back. Unfortunately I dropped my 
tablet and the touchscreen broke, so I am not using it anymore!

I did help someone get it working for a Gateway notebook/tablet. Even 
added pressure sensitivity too. So someone is using it and I'd hate to 
see it go.

(Alex: sorry for the top post and I should have "Replied All")

Thanks,
Dave Clay
