I have made a prelim port out of the touchkit source you made
available. IT IS only a preliminary port as much work needs to be
done, but if someone needs it for testing, it is available at:
http://freebsd.rogness.net/ports/touchkit/touchkit-port.tar
To install:
> tar -xvpPf touchkit-port.tar
> cd /usr/ports/sysutils/touchkit && make install
Still need to clean it up and get the xf86drv crap working right.
Once that happens, I will submit it. I'm assuming that it
probably needs to be done at or before the uep code gets put in
the main source.
