y be preferable. Especially for the more complicated touchscreen/pad device=
s, which require some mechanism for gesture interpretation. That's a lo=
t of code and complexity which is currently duplicated in every UI toolkit,=
 and really should be centralized. =C2=A0All just my opinion, of course.<di=

Hi,<br>
<br>
This series of changes introduces better support for touchpads when using<b=

evdev for input handling. Some of the ideas and algorithms used comes from<=

the xserver and xf86-input-synaptics repositories.<br>

This brings up something that I&#39;ve been wondering: what (if anything) i=
s<br>
the long-term plan for input in Weston - and Wayland compositors in<br>
general?<br>
<br>
Is Weston going to essentially fold in all the interesting bits from all<br=

the input DDXs to the core (and require this to be duplicated in all<br>
other compositors), or should these conceptually be modules, eventually<br>
crystallising as an input-module ABI compositors could share?<br>
<br>
I think I&#39;d like the latter to happen, but what are others thinking<br>
about this (if anything =E2=98=BA)?<br>

yeah, there&#39;s nothing that prevents us (well.. copyright might be somet=
hing) to have one single consolidated module for input that all compositors=
 could dlopen it. At the moment we&#39;re not sharing yet because it simply=
 doesn&#39;t have much, but I&#39;d say once it grows up and some nice feat=
ures get added there, then clutter, qt, efl, etc will want to benefit from =
it.<span class=3D"HOEnZb"><font color=3D"#888888"><br>
