Comment 19 for bug 527912

Yes, this is not surprising. The IDs are only present in the sourceforge driver, not in the current upstream tree. So MAverick cannot support it. I was referring to the backports modules package for Lucid which provides the sourceforge driver.

It is not practical/desirable to mix in a sourceforge driver into the standard kernel code as that generates hard to maintain code. The backports approach may be an option for MAverick too. Though there is considerable change in the area of multitouch code of the kernel and that will likely require some testing to evaluate whether things work there as expected, too.
