[laptop-discuss] Updated Synoptic driver for Ferrari 3400?

[Garrett D'Amore]

I really, really want to get the Tadpole synaptics driver integrated... 
unfortunately there have been higher priorities lately, and atm I'm not 
entirely certain that I will be able to get the code out of Tadpole.  
(After I left, they stopped responding to my e-mail inquiries... I had 
to give back all the code so the only way I can get code is if they send 
it to me... though I've volunteered to work to get their stuff into Nevada.)
