It's not even loading that driver. dmesg (from linux 3.1.5) says 
"generic-usb 0003:03EB:211C.0002: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device 
[Atmel Atmel maXTouch Digitizer] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.5/input1

I'm sorry, but while I'm a programmer, I'm just a user when it comes to 
kernel and X11, so sorry for being stupid, but: Could you tell me 
exactly what I should do, please?

Thanks for your help so far,

Ben
