The project https://launchpad.net/nwfermi seems pretty dead. Last update was eight years ago.
Even the related web page http://www.nextwindow.com is not active any more (shows a "parked domain" page)

I have patched this driver for correct scaling as button device and even for multitouch version of this driver. Where i can publish this driver for the best effort? It may be an a GitHub, or a Launchpad platform, but i'm not familiar with Lanchpad PPA repository.

I hav uploaded patched library to the own site. You can check sources and build it from the sources for bionic and upper, tested on linuxmint 19 with touchegg daemon.

@morganhold would you create a noob guide to install this driver from scratch? or should we apply to this page? https://github.com/glorang/nwfermi

The link to the patched version doesn't seem to work.

Sorry, after moving site to another server, only the direct links has been allowed. Added .htaccess to the directory, now works as expected.

P.S. I can setup github repository and the PPA repo.

Can you help with this problem?
