Touchpack kernel driver (sic...)

This very small "driver" for eee touch screen make the miracle.... To be honest, is only removing some capabilities (for evdev sanity), and patching wrong axes.

I don't know if it is the best (or even the right) way to do it, but at least it works for me...

Thanks for the patch.

Was this submitted upstream at all?  

I hope someone from the kernel/X.org/Redhat takes an interest in this.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I have submitted the patch on lkml (and was forwarded to linux-input ml), but no answer yet... Maybe with a "sponsor"...

Testing a F14 on a new-but-similar machine (same touch screen, same usb code), the touch screen works well out-of-the-box.
