Peter Hutterer 2bbf4a0117 evdev: use distance triggers to start scrolling 
The previous code used delta/event as scroll trigger which roughly translates
to speed, but depends on the sampling rate of the device.

For slow two-finger motion, a user may move the height of the touchpad without
ever triggering scrolling. Change the _initial_ trigger to a cumulative
trigger, i.e. once the user moved past the threshold distance, scrolling
starts regardless of the speed.

Once scrolling is engaged, the original trigger of threshold/event is
required to engange the second scroll direction.

Note that except for really slow movements, it's very easy to engage both
scroll directions on a touchpad. This is intentional, libinput does not have
enough semantic knowledge to know if horizontal scrolling is needed. So we
provide some direction locking but not much, it's up to the
client/toolkit/widget to decide if both scroll directions should be handled.
Add a comment to clarify that in the public doc.

libinput

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other
applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing
and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of
libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect.

Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating
pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

libinput originates from weston, the Wayland reference compositor.
