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.
