Subject: [PATCH] input: mt: Identify pointer emulation contact
Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:19:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291936745-4973-1-git-send-email-rydberg@euromail.se> (raw)

For MT applications, the tracking id provides a robust way to know
when a touch is new; essential information to determine when _not_ to
emit motion events, for instance.  Currently, ST applications do not
have the equivalent information, but instead rely on global properties
such as a change in number of fingers. Moreover, some MT applications
need to know which contact correponds to the pointer. This patch adds
the ABS_TRACKING_ID axis and emits it in
input_mt_report_pointer_emulation(), provided the proper absbit is
setup by the driver.
