--- Comment #29 from Mace Moneta mmoneta@optonline.net 2009-04-12 21:33:36 EDT --- That's the mystery. The GPL driver has been available for 5 years now, and I've been using it since it first came into existence without issue.
Greg KH has had the driver on his "out-of-tree drivers that need to be looked at" list for 2 years, and indicates he has hundreds of volunteers with nothing to do.
The author of the driver wants to get it into the kernel tree.
And yet, here we sit with end-users having to compile a driver to get their touchpad to work. It all seems odd.
