We used to normalize all deltas to equivalents of a 1000dpi mouse before passing it into the acceleration functions. This has a bunch of drawbacks, not least that we already have to un-normalize back into device units for a few devices already (trackpoints, tablet, low-dpi mice). Switch the filter code over to use device units, relying on the dpi set earlier during filter creation to convert to normalized. To make things easy, the output of the filter code is still normalized data, i.e. data ready to be handed to the libinput caller. No effective functional changes. For touchpads, we still send normalized coordinates (for now, anyway). For the various filter methods, we either drop the places where we unnormalized before or we normalize where needed. Two possible changes: for trackpoints and low-dpi mice we had a max dpi factor of 1.0 before - now we don't anymore. This was only the case if a low-dpi mouse had more than 1000dpi (never true) or a trackpoint had a const accel lower than 1.0 (yeah, whatever).

/*!@mainpage 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.

See @ref reporting_bugs for more info.
