Peter Hutterer 7a6026104b touchpad: use the top-most touch for fake finger positions
The average human hand has four fingers but only one thumb, i.e. the chance of
a fake finger being close to the top-most touch is higher than to whatever the
first touch was (which may be a thumb at the bottom of the touchpad).
So search for the top-most real touch and copy its position into the fake
touches.

This also fixes another bug with the previous code - the first slot may not be
active but we still used its position for the fake touches. Whether that was
really triggerable is questionable though.

The test is only run for the T440 touchpad - we know it's big enough to
enable thumb detection and that way we don't have to double-check in the how
big the touchpad is, etc.

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.
