The OLPC XO laptop incorporates a combination touchpad/tablet device which unfortunately requires frequent recalibration. The driver will force this automatically when various suspicious behaviors are observed, and the user can recalibrate manually (with a special keyboard sequence). There's currently no way, however, for an external program to cause recalibration. This patch creates a new node in /sys which, when written with '1', will force a touchpad recalibration. No other writes (or reads) of this node are supported.
Instead of creating a new sysfs attribute maybe we should make the touchpad recalibrate upon resume (reconnect)? Userspace can already request reconnect via sysfs. -- Dmitry
