From: Roderick Colenbrander <roderick.colenbrander@xxxxxxxx> For some input driver work we have been doing, we were limited by not having a wide enough ABS range in evdev. The current ABS range is mostly full and due to limitations on the ioctl design, it can't be extended. About 3 years ago, David Herrmann did work in this area to address this problem for similar reasons as us. However his patches at the time didn't make it in. Since we have a need for this kind of functionality, we took over his patches and are submitting them again with various improvements based on feedback to the original patches and some new functionality for motion tracking we are interested in ourselves. The patchset is simpler than before, because at the time a uinput overhaul was needed, before uinput could even support ABS_MAX2, which has happened since then. The patches have been tested with some David's libevdev branch which supports the new APIs. In addition we verified the new APIs in some of internal software.
