Comment 17 for bug 1517597

This is not a stylus emulation.. Touch screen and Mouse devices overlap in the axes they use. SInce mice with absolute coordinates are allowed too (i.e VMWare Mouse Emulation). A device that tries to mimic both will run into problems, since there are differences in the press/release behavior. If you then go on and add multitouch axes to the mix it will get even worse, because suddenly the difference between a touchscreen a touchpad and a mouse is lost. A device that changes its behavior without notifying user space is not really helping here either. The android-qemu fork could solved that in various ways. Especially not cramping everything into a single device would have helped a lot. But I will focus on getting the touch screen emulation working again. It does now locally after removing the relative mouse events, but still the edge swipes do not work. Need to look into that further.
