[PATCH] Tablet PC support

[Danny Kukawka]

Hi,

here is a updated version of my Tablet PC patch for HAL. Due to changes
in the kernel we don't need to call setserial for _all_ Tablet PC devices,
but there are some which need special handling to get the running in the 
correct way. This is the reason why thispatch also include a helper to 
call setserial.

What this patch do:
 * identify Wacom and Finepoint Tablet PC devices and port/irq 
 * set system.formfactor.subtype to 'tabletpc' - this allow the desktop
   to handle special tasks for Tablet PCs as e.g. show OnScreen Keyboard
   in KDM/GDM
 * added setserial helper to setup /dev/ttyS* devices with sepcial
   parameter if needed
 * add fdi-file to set needed parameter for special Tablet devices where 
   the kernel can't setup the device correct and set callout to execute 
   the helper for setserial 

This patch or a versions of this patch are already included in the SUSE
HAL package since 08/2005 and work as expected ;-)
