Comment 8 for bug 543119

Ok, there are some news, though they aren't very good. To make a xorg-input driver we first need kernel support (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50660#c1), but that won't happen unless we write it ourselves. The kernel project only takes and integrates code contributions.

So I hope at least one of us (the owners of laptops with slidenavs) is able to write the code required for kernel support. I'm wiling to help, but I certainly can't do it on my own. Any volunteers?
