From 97065e033ec5fd824d0133ecd0c614fe1e5c20bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrik Rydberg Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:31:26 -0700 Subject: 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.
