Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| So my proposed fix process would be:
|
|   1/identify all programs that listen on the touchscreen and make
|     sure they can be happy with BTN_STYLUS or ABS_PRESSURE

I like the sound of this.  I have some half-done patches that report
touchscreen pressure and I noticed that if I do report it, it destroyed
X support for touchscreen action.

|   2/change s3c2410_ts drivers to report BTN_STYLUS rather than
|     BTN_PRESSURE
|   3/remove tslib-input_raw-grab_events.patch from tslib
|   4/remove fix-EVIOCGRAB-semantics.patch from the kernel.
|
| Does this seem acceptable?
| Can anyone help with point 1??

I can do the deed in the kernel no problem, but as usual the problem is
mainly we need to confirm it doesn't trash existing rootfs / X when it
is changed in normal kernel.
