Lenovo Helix - Screen Digitizer - NEED HELP

[calimocco]

I've got a Lenovo Helix running 10.8.5 well, with the exception of audio and touchscreen functionality.

The digitizer shows under USB devices as "Atmel maxTouch Digitizer"
Product ID: 0x8406
Vendor: 0x03eb

I chased a few solutions based on similar hardware on other tablets using this driver: http://touch-base.com/documentation/MacOSXPlatformNotes.htm, but found a very interesting solution to modifying the Wacom PTK-540WL driver for a Linux build: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169374

I installed the PTK-540WL driver for OSX, but the steps described in the article above didn't translate clearly enough for the OSX app/kexts. Hopefully this will help someone more proficient with coding than me find a solution to making this digitizer work for OSX.

Somebody would have to port the driver to OS X. It is a non-trivial task...
