satrmb 92233df57b filter-touchpad: normalize for dpi on the touchpad-specific flat profile
On mice, switching the acceleration profile to flat disables dpi normalization,
because high or even switchable dpi are generally major features of a
high-end mouse, and switching to flat acceleration indicates that the user
wants to reduce the effects of any cursor acceleration to a minimum.
Therefore we skip normalization there and let the user take full advantage
of their expensive hardware.

On touchpads, particularly those built into a laptop, users have to deal with
whatever hardware they have; touchpad dpi is an afterthought at best, or
a disaster at worst. Switching to the flat profile is more likely to be
about avoiding the non-linear acceleration curve of the adaptive profile.

Hence the flat profile for touchpads shouldn't copy what the one for mice does,
but rather use dpi normalization like the adaptive profile. This keeps flat
acceleration on low-resolution touchpads from dropping to unusably slow speeds.

libinput

libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.

libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

User documentation

Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
