Hi Cédric,

Although this took a little while longer, the amd packages have been built successfully by now, and are available from my ppa.

I have the impression that your problems manifest in cases when some application is listening to the higher level touch interfaces, presumably using XInput. My problems on the other hand occur in a bare bones X where applications only use the core pointer. Those appear to be two sides of a coin: the commit reverted by comment #11 was intended to deal with a changing set of listeners, which to me sounds like some gesture-interpreting software. So it seems you need that fix, but I can't have it, as it breaks the core pointer. Let's hope someone finds a fix which will work with multiple listeners and still maintain proper core pointer state. As things work all right for me at the moment, I have little incentive to work on a part of this issue that doesn't affect me. Particularly as I haven't got all this gesture stuff set up to work for me, so I cannot test things yet.
