No worries.

OK, so it looks like your touchpad stays in the mouse emulation mode for
some reasons. Did you do the recordings with hid-multitouch patched, or
with plain hid-generic or an other one?

After further thoughts, I think it should be acceptable to enable the
mouse collection for Win 8 certified devices. Touchscreens are not
supposed to expose such a mouse emulation, so that would mean that only
touchpad will export one.

I'll come with a patch by the end of the week (hopefully).

Cheers,
Benjamin
