[PATCH v2] input: wacom: Report correct touch contact size for I5/Bamboo

From: Jason Gerecke <hidden>
Date: 2012-05-31 00:08:53

This changes how the touch packets for Intuos5 and 3rd-gen Bamboo
are interpreted, so that proper values for the MAJOR and MINOR
axes are reported. Instead of using the amplitude field (data[6]),
we use the size field (data[5]) and do some calculation to
transform it from a scaled-down area into axis lengths.

Note that even though we assume a circular contact, both MAJOR and
MINOR are reported since the resolution of the X and Y axes differ.
---
 Changes from v1:
   * Changed name from "Use touch size for ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR"

   * Also populate ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR to avoid some userspace
     assumptions.

   * Experimentally determined the calculations necessary to produce
     proper values instead of simply using the raw value in data[5].

I just noticed this patch wasn't upstream yet. Anybody wanna go over
it and give a Reviewed-by?

You're a toymaker's creation / Trapped inside a crystal ball.
And whichever way he tilts it / Know that we must be resilient
We won't let them break our spirits / As we sing our silly song.
