Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] input: appletouch: fixes for jagged/uneven cursor movement

From: Clinton Sprain <[email protected]>

For many devices, the appletouch driver can make the trackpad feel insensitive and cursor movement will tend to jerk in steps. This is particularly noticeable when moving the cursor diagonally. This can greatly impact the trackpad's usability.

The proposed changes address this by dialing back the fuzz and threshold parameters and by implementing a new cursor movement smoothing algorithm.

User feedback couldn't be found for some older devices that use this driver, so module parameters have been added to allow users to manually set the fuzz and threshold settings and/or opt out of the new smoothing algorithm.
