N-trig support on Linux
We would like the N-trig DuoSense to be fully supported on Linux. Please provide a driver with the full support of the Electrostatic Pen, the Battery-Powered Pen, and Capacitive Touch. The driver must support the palm-rejection feature, and automatically disable Capacitive Touch when the Pen is in use, as well as restoring Capacitive Touch when the Pen is no longer in use. It must also support pressure sensitivity when applicable. It must support Multi-Touch, consisting of 2 or more fingers at any given time. It must work with X.org and MPX and use a sample application to demonstrate functionality. We would like this to be provided at a production-ready level by March, 2010.

Seeing the community rally behind this driver support feels incredible because I know how frustrating it is to have a perfectly good laptop that just refuses to work properly under Linux. This momentum proves that we are not the only ones holding onto hope for a functional workspace. We have their attention now and I will keep pushing until we get the full performance we need.

Had to switch back to windows cause of this. it is a shame because hardware is actually decent.
