I've read some of the guides and attempted to change the style of the driver's code to "kernel" style. Now it seems I have to create a patch - but this is a new file, so how do I send that? Just paste it in here? It would need to go in drivers/input/tablet. Also: 1. I don't think I have to compile the whole kernel to check that the driver compiles or doesn't immediately "oops" - as specified in http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/maintainer.html As far as I know this is an external loadable module that doesn't go in the kernel core. 2. I usually run a "make install" to install this. It takes care of some housekeeping such as installing udev rules. It also unbinds usbhid which wrongly grabs the tablet. This is probably supposed to be done in a better way but I don't know how. The installation procedure is below, perhaps someone can advise me on how to improve this? file: scripts/insert_bosto_14wa #!/bin/sh echo -n "$1" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind echo -n "$2 $3" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/bosto_14wa/new_id file: scripts/bosto_14wa.rules # Rules for hotplugging Bosto 14wa ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b57", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9018", RUN="/usr/local/bin/insert_bosto_14wa %k %s{idVendor} %s{idProduct}" "make install" does: cp ./bosto_14wa.ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r) echo bosto_14wa >> /etc/modules depmod cp ./scripts/insert_bosto_14wa /usr/local/bin cp ./scripts/bosto_14wa.rules /etc/udev/rules.d udevadm control --reload modprobe bosto_14wa Thanks in advance for any help! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
