Hi William,

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.
