From: Henrik Rydberg Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 05:31:26 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Input: clarify the no-finger event in multitouch protocol X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=97065e033ec5fd824d0133ecd0c614fe1e5c20bd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git Input: clarify the no-finger event in multitouch protocol The current documentation does not explicitly specify how to report zero fingers, leaving a potential problem in the driver implementations and giving no parsing directive to userland. This patch defines two equally valid ways.
