[Monocle] Verify that multitouch Protocol B works

XMLWordPrintable

      LinuxStatefulMultiTouchProcessor has an implementation of multitouch that should work with Protocol B devices (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/multi-touch-protocol.txt).

      We don't have any protocol B hardware, but we can at least verify that we can work with the protocol as it is documented:

      Protocol Example B
      ------------------

      Here is what a minimal event sequence for a two-contact touch would look
      like for a type B device:

         ABS_MT_SLOT 0
         ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID 45
         ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[0]
         ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[0]
         ABS_MT_SLOT 1
         ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID 46
         ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[1]
         ABS_MT_POSITION_Y y[1]
         SYN_REPORT

      Here is the sequence after moving contact 45 in the x direction:

         ABS_MT_SLOT 0
         ABS_MT_POSITION_X x[0]
         SYN_REPORT

      Here is the sequence after lifting the contact in slot 0:

         ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID -1
         SYN_REPORT

      The slot being modified is already 0, so the ABS_MT_SLOT is omitted. The
      message removes the association of slot 0 with contact 45, thereby
      destroying contact 45 and freeing slot 0 to be reused for another contact.

      Finally, here is the sequence after lifting the second contact:

         ABS_MT_SLOT 1
         ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID -1
         SYN_REPORT
