How about ABS_AREA or REL_AREA instead of ABS_MISC. The idea is the pressure value returned should be about the same if one presses hard with one finger or softly with a whole hand. So to tell the difference between the two we can report the pressure and the area over which it acted. Say in virtual reality environment simulation poking a object hard with your finger would have a very different effect than placing your hand lightly on the object even tho they might register about the same pressure. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
