My mistake, I think it was always the EM panel. We supply these things,
I should know better :-) You can get Linux drivers for it but the
overlay and other software would be a problem. Could be that the SMART
software would work with it though. Apparently Hitachi are ending the
deal with Wacom and will source screens from elsewhere - possibly
internally and there would be no supplies for a couple of months though
some people might still have them in stock. With a bit of luck this will
bring the price down.

Really some Linux overlay software would be useful because it should
work with any devices that has a Linux driver.
