HI Jeremy,

The appletouch driver is prone to reporting multiple fingers when only

does this on the raw values, so a data stream like:

0 100 250 300 299 300 250 100 0

actually registers as 2 fingers.

This patch updates the logic to ignore small dips in pressure that are
less
than the threshold.


Does it still detect 2 fingers as 2 fingers when they are held together?

I just wanted to follow up on this patch[1], since I haven't seen any movement. It's fairly trivial and I've been using it for the past month with great success (yes, it still detects 2 fingers properly). Is there hope that this change can get merged soon?

Thanks,
Jeremy
