Hi Abraham - Yes - the TM1217 is an RMI4 based module [I just got an email from a f/w engineer confirming it is indeed RMI4]. We are currently working on submitting a new patch for our RMI4 based driver to add some functionality based on Dmitry Torokhov's request that we implement an RMI bus architecture. This is kind of a large change and we had hoped our current submission for our RMI4 driver would be added to the Kernel.org under a branch where every developer could access it and then we could add in the RMI bus architecture in a later patch. So it will take a while till we can make a new patch but I have no problem if you want to try the existing patch out.
I have committed the latest version of the patch Christopher sent (sans defconfig and gta01 platform changes that do not really belong there) to synaptics-rmi4 branch of my tree on kernel.org. I branched it off 2.6.35 release so it should be reasonably usable. I shall be accepting patches applicable to that branch and if other community players (Arce and others) will have time to work on the driver - that would be great. Hope this helps. -- Dmitry
