You also need the kernel-headers-2.6.8 package. This should also fix your problem with the build directory. The Makefile should create a appletouch.ko in the source directory of the driver. I don't know if it will compile successfully. It may be, that the sarge kernel is too old for the appletouch driver. > > But then what? Do I use modprobe or something?

Will the driver be loaded > every time the system boots this way? You load the appletouch.ko file with insmod. If the module works and you want to use it premanently, just install the appletouch.ko file to /lib/modules/2.6.8-powerpc/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.
