Note that our HID support has greatly improved over the last 10 years, we may also consider reverting 6f8d9e26e7de ("hid-core.c: Adds all GTCO CalComp Digitizers and InterWrite School Products to blacklist") and see if GTCO devices actually work with normal HID drivers.Sounds like a good plan to me. Perhaps you can do that in a series together, and stage that for 5.12?Sorry, I already zapped the driver in 5.11. Unfortunately I do not have this hardware, so while we could remove these devices from the blacklist we will have to do that blindly. Please let me know if you still want to do that.
We can also wait for the first person to potentially complain (if ever) about the driver going away -- that'd mean that the person does actually still have that hardware, and we could ask him to test with hid-generic. Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
