The patch at the start of this thread - ie
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/24/125  - this should really go in now as it
fixes a problem with current code.

In addition there are two patch sets to add new device support:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/24/211    - maple controller

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/24/121  (thread) - maple mouse
