Followup to my last email. For example. Our IPanel that we just blacklisted so that we can use our own driver is detected and loaded as a mouse device by the HID driver. Why this is detected and parsed properly and standard digitizers are not, I'm not sure. The issue I think will be the same as with the IPanel. If the digitizer is detected and loaded as a class 3 mouse device, I don't know of any way of intercepting the input events so that we can handle them versus X. Because digitizers can be calibrated etc, our application driver must be able to manipulate the input events before sending them off to the X Server. Would a list of all Digitizer HID Descriptors be of any use to you guys?
