Sorry for the noise (hit a wrong key). There are two major differences between #1 and #3: 1. #3 does not report any ABS_XY data when both pen and touch data are received (#1 still sends pen ABS_X/Y); 2. #3 sends both pen and touch data as MT events when both types of data are received (#1 only sends pen data). Which option do you like? We could go with a simple option. But that would close the door to those feature rich applications.
