Hello, I am working with a company that is coming out with a multi-touch controller that can also measure the force applied by the fingers. So basically, along with x and y values, now we have z values. I believe this will give rise to a unique way on how a user interact. We have a driver that can get these three values from the controller. But I have no idea how to make it work all the way through Window manager. I am a pure kernel programmer and have no experience dealing with any of the components in the display interface stack.
I'd appreciate if any of your gurus can guide me by answering me the following questions: 1) My understanding is, all the components - X server, Window system, Desktop Environment are all designed with two dimensional input. Am I correct? 2) If 1 is true, how easy it is to incorporate the force support in the stack? I understand it's a relative question but I am more interested in knowing whether this requires complete re-design of the software components. 3) I love Enlightenment. I am currently thinking of making our technology work with E. What's your opinion about changes required in E to support the third dimension? If you need more information, please let me know.
