Peter Hutterer cba2278c3a touchpad: add a config option to disable tap-and-drag
There are a number of use-cases where tapping may be desirable, but
tap-and-drag is not, e.g. where tapping is used to select multiple items in a
list. Having tap-and-drag on hinders this, and the nature of the interaction
means it cannot be detected based on timeouts, movement thresholds, etc.

Provide an option instead to turn tap-an-drag off. Tap-and-drag remains
enabled by default (though tapping is disabled by default).

For the touchpad tap state diagram, the new option disables the transition
from state TOUCH to state TAPPED and releases the button immediately instead.
This means that multitap-and-drag is disabled too since we now just loop
around in the single-tap state for multitap.

It also makes tapping more responsive - we don't have to wait for the timeout
before we know whether it's a tap event. The first touch time is noted, we now
send the button press with the time of the first touch and the release with
the time of the release. This ensures a realistic time diff between the two
events.

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.

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