[Bug 667284] [NEW] Asus EeePC T91MT touchscreen drivers blacklisted

[H3g3m0n]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

The Asus EeePC T91MT doesn't work out of the box. There are drivers in
the kernel however for some reasons they are blacklisted and require a
kernel.

I'm not sure why they are blacklisted, they seem to work fine for
everyone. The drivers don't seem to work with multi-touch or pressure
sensitivity but they are better than nothing.

There is a guide here showing the lines that need to be commented out:

This is a problem on 10.10 and 10.04 (also previous versions didn't have
drivers but they required evtouch rather than usb-hid changes).

It would of course be nice to get full multitouch, there are demonstrations of it working here:

I believe the ENAC people are the ones working on the drivers:
