[Bug 511747] Re: support for Acer 1420P

[ng]

I just installed the mainline kernel 2.6.36 for maverick amd64
and the mainline kernel 2.6.37rc2 also for maverick amd64.

The touchscreen works like it should, or as described above, 
meaning its singletouch.


after all, i can confirm that those kernels work.


now i'm only waiting for the multitouch support. does anyone
know something about this?
