The calcomp, citron, digitaledge, dmc, dynapro, elo2300, fpit, hyperpen, jamstudio, magellan, microtouch, mutouch, palmax, spaceorb, summa, tek4957 and ur98 X input drivers have been discontinued and are not included in squeeze. Users of these devices might want to switch to a suitable kernel driver and the evdev X driver. For many serial devices, the inputattach utility allows attaching them to a Linux input device which can be recognized by the evdev X driver. Cheers, Julien
