As of Gingerbread, Android does not pay attention to if the pen
is in contact with the screen, or merely in proximity. Since the
Xorg Wacom driver does not make use of MT pen events, we simply
do not emit MT data while hovering.

Hi Jason,

It would be nice if you could CC me next time. I would like to be
aware of the changes to the driver I wrote and use.

I guess the change below is ok, but it changes existing behavior. It
doesn't affect my apps (be aware that Xorg and Android may be the well
known users, but there are other custom apps).

Thanks,
jaya

Thanks for the heads-up. Since I had originally intended the patches
to go against the Android tree, I wasn't thinking too hard about how
other things would react to the changes. I figured I'd make them
Xorg-compatible in case they were rejected by Google, but didn't
consider custom applications.

Based on the replies to the first patch though, I may be withdrawing
these patches anyway... We need to wait and see if my Android
rejection is reversed or not.

Jason
