Re: [PATCH v5] psmouse - focaltech pass finger width to userspace

[Dmitry Tunin <hanipouspilot@gmail.com>]

> Focaltech touchpads report finger width in packet[5] of absolute packet.
> Range for width in raw format is 0x10 - 0x70. Second half-byte is always 0.
> 0xff is reported, when a large contact area is detected.

This appear to work very will with xorg-synaptics. 
Since touchpad does not report pressure and synaptics require both
pressure and width to detect palm, it is needed to set pressure to minimum value:
synclient PalmMinZ=1
Then it works great. Last Mathias's commit removed palm detection from the kernel driver.
With this patch users can toggle it as they like.
