Henrik, Chris,

After some testing this is mostly fine, but I have one of those terrible
"integrated buttons" (or whatever we call it) trackpads. When switching
to multitouch mode, the cursor will sometimes jump when I go to push the
button.

Take the following sequence:

1. Touch in top right corner of pad to position cursor
2. Touch in bottom left corner over button
3. Press button, but finger moves a little

Step 3 causes the primary coordinates in the synaptics MT protocol to
flip to the button-pressing touch. This causes a cursor jump. *Many*
times I have gone to press an "Ok" dialog button and found that I
accidentally launched an application from my dock :).

I think we should perform some rudimentary touch tracking to ensure the
same touch is always used for reporting ABS_X/ABS_Y. A simple distance
comparison between the two touches, as I implemented in one of my other
patches, would suffice.

What do you think?

Thanks,
