Peter Hutterer 3dd0ece9c0 evdev: split scroll threshold and direction lock threshold into two
The previous code used a 5mm threshold before axis events were posted. This
threshold was on top of the 2mm 2fg threshold (and timeout handling) in the
gesture code and effectively prevented events from being sent after a timeout,
or in the 2mm-5mm range.

We still want a directional lock though, so split the two out. The default 5mm
threshold is set to 0 for touchpads since we have our own handling of the
threshold there. The directional lock only applies once scrollin has started
and remains on 5mm.

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](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/), the Wayland reference
compositor.

Architecture
------------

libinput is not used directly by applications, rather it is used by the
xf86-input-libinput X.Org driver or wayland compositors. The typical
software stack for a system running Wayland is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-wayland.gv

Where the Wayland compositor may be Weston, mutter, KWin, etc. Note that
Wayland encourages the use of toolkits, so the Wayland client (your
application) does not usually talk directly to the compositor but rather
employs a toolkit (e.g. GTK) to do so.

The simplified software stack for a system running X.Org is:

@dotfile libinput-stack-xorg.gv

Again, on a modern system the application does not usually talk directly to
the X server using Xlib but rather employs a toolkit to do so.

Reporting Bugs
--------------

Bugs can be filed in the libinput component of Wayland:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=libinput

Where possible, please provide an
[evemu](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Evemu/) recording of the input
device and/or the event sequence in question.
