First, thanks to all those working on the nw_fermi module.
But I'm afraid I'm getting nothing from either cat or evtest.

With vanilla 10.04.1 64 bit with all updates plus nvidia driver and the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package.
and nwfermi-0.2_i386.deb recompiled as per message by Jeff Bower post #74 omitting the seds as running 2.6.32-25-generic
running on a Sony Vaio all in one VPCL12M1E

As per Peter Adamka post #76 I have only the nvidia config.

xorg log:-

(II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

Any pointers on what I may have missed would be much appreciated as it is very frustrating to be so close yet dis-functional.
Note I have not used newer nwfermi as thought that they might only work on newer kernels.
Thanks.
