You actually lose the tap/tap-tap click and doubleclick button

Both of these issues were noted when the driver was posted for
review. It semed the consensus at the time that until at least
the tap/tap-tap was brought back (via software emulation), the
driver would not be replaced, only optioned. You can check the
list archives for details, I think.
I wasn't aware of the prehistory ... (Rahul's link in another post was
very interesting.)
The "pressure sensitivity is, I think, really an area sensitivity
and not a real pressure sensitivity (I can't imagine actually
losing an axis of data!). That would mean, like the tap/tap-tap,
it could be emulated in software.
It would be interesting to get this back. I can (and have) lived
without the "roller" buttons, but I wasn't aware of how used I had
become to tapping instead of clicking.
Probably the best thing to do would be to disassemble the BIOS on
your box, knowing the difference between the older driver's interface,
and use the same techniques that were hidden from the older driver
(and "just built in" instead).
This is certainly beyond my technical understanding!
