[Bug 90451] Add Tablet PC support (patch included)

[Andrew Lofthouse]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

OpenSUSE has a patch that adds some specific support to hal for Tablet
PCs.  One of those features is the addition of a new key
(system.formfactor.subtype) and sets it to "tabletpc".  This key is
required to enable other features important to the use of a Tablet PC
(such as rotation of the wacom pointers when using krandrtray, or
showing a virtual keyboard when trying to unlock the screen).  I'll be
submitting patches to enable those features in other bug reports.

Attached is the patch downloaded from
http://beta.suse.com/private/dkukawka.  I've rebuilt the feisty hal
package (hal-0.5.8.1-4ubuntu8) and verified that this patch applies and
builds cleanly.

** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
