Bug Description
[enhancement] MirEvent 2.0 has no replacement for mir_motion_
Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) wrote : | #2 |
Incomplete. I need to check the evdev stream. If it is recognised separately to the stylus then it is indeed a new tooltype.
We don't want MirEvent 2.0 to lose features we already have in MirEvent 1.0 ...

Confirmed in evtest ... the eraser is reported by evdev as a different tool "BTN_TOOL_RUBBER" vs the other end which is "BTN_TOOL_PEN".
So the eraser is indeed a different tool type.

It's unclear that mir_motion_ tool_type_ eraser makes sense or is required. Originally we copied it from android thoughtlessly (this isn't slander, I did it, it was thoughtless). Qt doesnt feature it.
When writing the new input event headers I decided since Qt doesn't feature it its probably not required and perhaps better expressed as some sort of modifier state on the touch.
