[PATCH 7/9 v2] Input: synaptics - improved 2->3 finger transition handling

From: <hidden>
Date: 2011-07-20 13:39:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

From: Daniel Kurtz <redacted>

As long as we know which slots are currently contained in SGM and AGM
packets, it is possible to track the slot 0 finger when transitioning from
2->3 fingers.  This is the case when fingers are being added one at a
time, 1->2->3.

However, when fingers are removed, we sometimes lose track of which slots
are contained in SGM and AGM. In particular, when transitioning from 3->2
and sometimes 3->1.  In both of these cases, we can no longer track slot 0
during 2->3 transitions.
