ACPI support for Input?

Hi
A customer has asked about ACPI support in Input.
Apparently, a USAR touch/keyboard/mouse chip they use in their
custom h/w requires this support.
Currently, the Input.usar driver (I believe USAR wrote the driver) works
ok with a PS/2 mouse, but the touch screen is working
in relative mode rather than absolute.

Not knowing much about ACPI & Input, please excuse the questions
if they seem stupid:
Is this something that is available already? Is it something
that can be added by us using the IDK? Is the IDK still available?
Thanks

I don’t think so.

I’m not sure… but the question is wether it is possible at all, not wether
it’s possible for someone other than QSSL to do it.

Is the IDK still available?

It would be the same IDK USAR used.

Really, they are asking for the custom software that goes with their custom
hardware to do some additional custom stuff. They should get in touch with
whoever originally did their custom driver.

Thank you Pete.
Will push it back to the customer & USAR.
