Hello Peter,
I filed the bugs individually as 21725 and 21726. I also have several
more touchscreens I will be putting through the test at some point soon.
However, I am still interested in some of the assumptions I mentioned in
my original eMail, specifically that a touchpad is not a touchscreen if
num_buttons exists, or that the calibration code only gets executed for
absolute devices with pens?
Are these things intended to stay this way, or is there a "better way"
that we should be seeking?
