The vast majority of touchpads are internal, so let's assume that any USB
touchpad is internal by default (exception: bluetooth) and manually mark the
ones that are external. That's a lot more future-proof than having to mark all
internal touchpads that use USB as internal - that number is only going to
increase.
Related to #7068
Sets ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD_INTEGRATION=internal for Microsoft Surface Pro Type Covers (IDs should cover at least the type covers for the Surface Pro 3 and 4). This is needed so that libinput can disable the touchpad while typing.
Add a new key ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD_INTEGRATION=internal|external so we have a
single source for figuring out which touchpads are built-in.
Fairly simple approach: bluetooth is external, usb is external unless it's an
Apple touchpad. Everything else is internal.
The main purpose of this hwdb was to tag touchpads that have the physical
trackstick buttons wired to the touchpad (Lenovo Carbon X1 3rd, Lenovo *50
series). This hwdb is not required on kernels 4.0 and above, the kernel now
re-routes button presses through the trackstick's device node. Userspace does
not need to do anything.
See kernel commit cdd9dc195916ef5644cfac079094c3c1d1616e4c.
This reverts commit 001a247324.
Currently used to tag devices in the new Lenovo *50 series and the X1 Carbon
3rd. These laptops re-introduced the physical trackpoint buttons that were
missing from the *40 series but those buttons are now wired up to the
touchpad.
The touchpad now sends BTN_0, BTN_1 and BTN_2 for the trackpoint. The same
button codes were used in older touchpads that had dedicated scroll up/down
buttons. Input drivers need to work around this and thus know what they're
dealing with.
For the previous gen we introduced INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD in the kernel, but
the resulting mess showed that these per-device quirks should really live in
userspace.
The list currently includes the X1 Carbon 3rd PNPID, others will be added as
get to know which PNPID they have.
