[OE-core] tslib 1.3

[Martin Kepplinger]

I found some discussions on tslib in your archives and want to give you
a little update. I'm not even sure core is the correct list for this.

I'm working on tslib for quite some time now. The project page is
https://github.com/kergoth/tslib and has been for quite some time, and
I'm maintaining it there.

With version 1.3 there shouldn't be any need for your environment to be
compatible with tslib's API, as tslib/tools/ts_uinput provides an input
event device to use:

https://github.com/kergoth/tslib#use-tslib-via-a-normal-input-event-device

and you can run it as a daemon (ts_uinput -d).

As of now tslib-1.3-rc1 is out for testing. It adds a new multitouch
API, but ts_uinput should work for single- and multitouch devices and
there shouldn't be a need to wait for Qt or X tslib wrappers to
implement tslib's API or to even have them at all.

The more feedback we get, the earlier we can consider releasing it as
version 1.3.

I hope this is useful,

                           martin
