I just rechecked it. In fact it rudimentary works, ie. I can move the
mouse and click on it's buttons. However, IIRC it used to work 'out of
the box' with the more advanced options - ie. 'palm detection', tapping,
scrolling etc, which would be nice to have enabled / configurable again.
Thanks and cheers,
