n-trig pen with evdev drivers - Sony Vaio Duo 11

[Carlo Nucera]

Hi, you're right about the link. For future reference and search, the
page I was referring to is located here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/getting-xinput-and-an-n-trig-pen-working-sony-vaio-duo-11-a-4175533235/

I'm happy this question got finally an answer, at least I understand
the problem now. Could you point me towards what should I study to be
able to make that sort of patch myself? Where should the path go,
conceptually? Could you give me a better idea of what do you mean when
you say "too much effort"?

Thanks,
Carlo
