SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/9] Hid multitouch rewrite, support os system multi-axis devices
From
Date
Hello Benjamin,

I have a side question about your patchset: for the SUR40 touchscreen, we had a
discussion a while ago about how to support the different object types which the
firmware can detect (plain touch contact, printed token with ID, generic blob
outline). Would the pass-through for the tool type allow us to differentiate
those, once we define suitable tool types for each object class?

Thanks & best regards, Florian
