Ouch, this looks like a huge step backward. tslib has the stackable plugin architecture for a reason. Where is the connection between the input_handler for evdev and the calibration data? It has so many layering violations that I don't know where to start and can just propose to do right mouse button emulation and sending of relative coordinates in kernel as well... But then you could just write another input_handler sending out PS2 compatible coordinates... Where was this discussed? z. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
