78 I´m sorry, I don´t know where the "´s has gone, but I haven´t
79 contacted Ping Cheng, someone else does, this is a quote from someone
80 here http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/archive/index.php/t-3798.html.
81
82 First of all: Should I ever quote the mail I am responding to like
83 here?  I guess this would be a little unreadable after some time,
84 that´s why I am asking.
85
86 I´m glad that  I could find something useful , thanks for the
87 explanations =)
88
89 "Ping Cheng from the linux wacom project is aware of this and will
90 work on it soon,  you can see it at
91 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1593330&group_id=69596&atid=525127"
92
93
94 Would that fit? I´m sorry, but I just never had worked with bugzilla
95 and don´t know if I had to take care of something by writing there..
96 Thanks,
97 Sebastian
