Hi,
i already wrote to comunity ML, but i think i will resend it here too, because
i wasnt able to create bug report [1].
Here is my problem: I started using 2.6.32 for QtMoko distribution. Problem is
when i launch X server i am getting stray clicks away from the point that i
pressed.
I have found the cause of the problem. It seems that /dev/input/mice generates
touchscreen events with 2.6.32. X server opens both /dev/input/event1 and
/dev/input/mice and gets all event twice. If i delete /dev/input/mice the
stray clicks are gone.
You can test it by doing:
cat /dev/input/mice
2.6.29 will not produce any output, while 2.6.32 reacts to touching the
touchscreen.
Any idea why /dev/input/mice produces events when touchscreen is touched? Is
it correct?
Regards
Radek
