Hi,
I am carrying out a survey on the current state of Linux input devices.
The results will have influence on my diploma thesis and the
corresponding project which is called Input Abstraction Layer [1].
The survey is located at: http://ial.berlios.de/survey/
Anyone who uses Linux -- either on a desktop, a laptop or both -- is
more than welcome to participate.
I appreciate every single contribution to the survey.
Best Regards,
Timo
