I wasn't against the original patch though; meta-handheld has had a udev
bbappend to sed this rule to exactly what the patch gives for a long time now.
Frankly I don't understand the objections in the original discussion; just
because the driver for the touchscreen doesn't provide pressure events -
either because the driver is deficient or the hardware doesn't support it - it
does not mean the device isn't a touchscreen and shouldn't be recognised as
such by udev.
Unless it is possible that the weaker rule will pick up some other non-
touchscreen device as a touchscreen as a result of this change (and I doubt
that is the case) then this patch should be applied.
Cheers,
Paul
