Good Morning Mr. Amit Kucheria

Thank you for your time, reading my eMail.

The new Hardware on the market offer MultiTouchScreens, like the Netbook
from ASUS:
ASUS EEE PC T91MT
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=KIqtSJ1aVsmVpeqS

I found some information in ASUS's Support Forum and found also a Linux
Driver Builder.

ENAC Interactive computing laboratory HowTo

MosArt MT Driver for ASUS's T91MT

- --> MosArt

The Problem on this thing is, that the Kernel needs to be patched and
recompiled to get it running.

I have done some tests but without success, cause Kernel compiling is
not really simple for normal Users ... I'm a developer (Web, Mobile)
but not a Kernel developer...

Thats why i'm contacting you, as Ubuntu Kernel Engineer.

I have Information from Stéphane Chatty (chatty@enac.fr) that the
Drivers won't probably be included before 2.6.34.

Is there any way, that the parts in above HowTo can be integrated in
current and upcoming Ubuntu Kernel's?

I don't know how's the way to 2.6.34 and how long does it take, that it
is available for Ubuntu, but the MultiTouchScreen's are now out.. so you
know what i mean.

By the way, my IRC Nickname is noaXess and i'm daily in #kubuntu.

Thank you very much for your response.

Kind regards from Switzerland.
