IT IS only a preliminary port as much work needs to be done, but if someone needs it for testing, it is available at: http://freebsd.rogness.net/ports/touchkit/touchkit-port.tar To install: > tar -xvpPf touchkit-port.tar > cd /usr/ports/sysutils/touchkit && make install Still need to clean it up and get the xf86drv crap working right. Once that happens, I will submit it. I'm assuming that it probably needs to be done at or before the uep code gets put in the main source.
