Have you already thought about the rest of the path from driver to application, ie kernel driver -> X.org driver -> X events -> toolkit events -> application? For instance does the X.org driver interpret the data and emit a zoom or rotate event based on the finger position and movement? As far as I know those event do not exist and would have to be added to X.org as well as the toolkits like GTK+ and Qt. It could be a long implementation process... :( Arjan -- 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
