Generic plug-in for evdev multiple touch (ABS_MT) events.
Supports protocol type A & B.
Type B is supported both directly and via libmtdev.
-Single-touch devices reporting ABS_X and Y only are not supported
-by this plugin. Use tslib or evdevmouse instead.
-
The protocol type will be detected automatically.
libmtdev is automatically detected based on library availability. To disable it,
pass -no-mtdev to configure.
-Tested with the following kernel drivers:
- bcm5974 (type A)
- hid_magicmouse (type A with ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID) (type B over libmtdev)
- wacom (type B)
+Single-touch devices reporting ABS_X and Y are supported too. Keep in
+mind however that the libudev-based device discovery may not be able
+to recognize such devices. If mouse events are sufficient, it may be
+better to use evdevmouse or tslib with such devices.
-To use this "driver", pass -plugin EvdevTouch on the command line.
+To use this plugin, pass -plugin EvdevTouch on the command line.
If automatic detection does not work, use -plugin
EvdevTouch:/dev/input/eventN to explicitly set the device file
