16 I should have stated I'm running 4.3.99.13 already. My question was if
17 someone was already working on an ebuild that built the driver
18 externally (with the synaptics ebuild). Is there a reason why this
19 wasn't released (with teh external driver build) as a -r1 release to
20 4.3.99.14?

22 TIA.
