The ABS_PRESSURE and ABS_WIDTH have special scales, and were initially
added solely for thumb and palm recognition in the synaptics driver.
This never really get used, however, and userspace quickly moved to
MT solutions instead. This patch drops the unused events.
How can you know that? There could still be people using ST emulation
with this device. I think we should keep it.
Alright, maybe we need to carry this still. Probability = macbook *
old_userland * new_kernel * working_synaptics * tuned_palm_parameters,
must be a pretty large number. ;-)
