As I delved further in to this issue, I find that not only is there a patch in tslib to use EVIOCGRAB, but there is also a patch in the kernel to exclude the "ABS_X + ABS_Y + BTN_TOUCH" case from mousedev, making the EVIOCGRAB patch pointless. And there might even be another patch in the kdrive Xserver to use EVIOCGRAB in a different context (which might not actually be being used, I'm not sure). A twisted maze of little passages, all twisted. :-) But I am firmly against carrying patches like this which cannot go upstream. They can lead to subtle incompatibilities and can be hard to get rid of. I much prefer a solution that can work for everyone, and I currently think the BTN_TOUCH -> BTN_STYLUS change is that solution. It remains to be seen which I can push into the openmoko source tree :-) Thanks, NeilBrown -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
