Hello,
now there ais all kind of multiness involved with wacom,
Multitouch (as in, well, multitouch),
Multiple Pointers (as in, one or more pointers from the touchscreen,
others from the digizizer, ...)
Multiple Devices (as in, touchscreen, digitizer, yet another
touchscreen, ...)
all of which become increasingly important. I'm particularly affected
because my computer, a tablet by the name of "EEE Slate" consists of the
following two devices
* A Wacom ISDV4 Digitizer
* An EETI eGalax Touchscreen, also powered by the Wacom driver (thanks
to Chris and Ben Tissoires from linux-input at this point again, without
whom I'd not have gotten this to work in the first place)
Which it is of course not the canonical case, one may equally imagine
the same situation with the eGalax replaced by some Wacom touchscreen.
For my personal case, I've solved the dilemma of the touchscreen and the
wacom fighting with eachother by adding some rather ugly hacks to the X
driver, none of which is sustainable or desirable in the long run.
There is still the multitouch issue - with the newest X.org and evdev I
could use multitouch, indeed, and thereby abandon wacom.
Long story short:
How are things to proceed from here. Is there a master plan which
rectifies all the three issues at once and provides one consistent
solution for arbitrary configurations, and also incorporates multitouch
and multipointer?
I know the whole issue spreads through all layers of the input-world,
from the x-driver, to the kernel level.
I guess people like Peter have the ultimate overview of the whole
sitation. I'd like to contribute, preferably at the X driver layer, but
the current situation is very unclear to me - I don't even want to think
of wayland, which just makes the future possibilities even less
transparent.
Could you sum up the whole situation in a few short sentences and
outline which responsibility goes where and which issues have already
been solved or subjected to a plan which is meant to solve them?
To sum up, what's the situation of and relation among
MPX <->
Multitouch <->
Precedence and MPX/Multitouch accross multiple,
inherently unrelated (arbitrary) devices
in wacom and linux input in general?
Thank you,
regards,
Cedric
