The high level pointer code doesn't know about Xinerama.
It operates in single logical screen space and assumes it's
moving a cursor over the logical screen with input independent
of the screens (like from a mouse). To make touch screen drivers
Xinerama aware, they would probably need to report their motion
relative to the logical screen. I suppose that might look
something like:
#ifdef PANORAMIX
if(!noPanoramiXExtension) {
/* given x,y on screen n, translate to the logical coordinate */
x += panoramiXdataPtr[n].x;
y += panoramiXdataPtr[n].y;
}
#endif
This is just a guess though. I haven't studied this.
Mark.
