Description Peter Hutterer 2009-08-16 17:04:10 UTC 
Created attachment 28685 [details]
evtest output of a wacom tablet

Tablets send BTN_TOOL_PEN, BTN_TOOL_STYLUS, etc. when touching the tablet with the pen. These events are currently completely dropped, evdev only goes up to BTN_JOYSTICK.

evdev should:
- initialize these buttons
- map or convert these buttons into left/middle/right presses as appropriate.

commit 1b0df04abe329433658c95debdafdf1714173814
Author: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

    Fix up BTN_TOUCH handling for non-button tablets.
    
    BTN_TOOL_* is treated as tool, just like before. BTN_TOUCH on the other hand
    may need to be treated as a button left press. This again requires a button
    class.
    
    Tested on an HP Touchsmart and a Wacom tablet.
