Re: [Linuxwacom-devel] Is it time to retire the user-space part of the touch screen driver?

Hi Tom,

2FG touch gestures were grandfathered into xf86-input-wacom because
they were present in linuxwacom.  Peter's policy has been to not add
new gestures or support gestures for more than 2FG touch, although
some tablets now have 4 or more finger touch.  Chris Bagwell has done
work on improving the gestures and bug fixes in xf86-input-wacom and
some of the kernel work you mention.

Unfortunately the BambooPT's have their ExpressKeys on the same device
node as touch.  Don't know about the Intuos5's.  Placing touch on
evdev does disable the xf86-input-wacom ExpressKey options for them.
At least last time I checked you could not segregate daughter devices
from the Parent device in xorg.conf.d to place touch on evdev and
ExpressKeys on xf86-input-wacom.    Evdev button handling is not
comparable.
