Thanks xor_ for the update... I've started hacking on this again a little at a time. I'm trying to do things "clean" this time, in order to have official support in the mainline version. As of the input part, the main difference is that Kindles support multitouch while our kobo doesn't... In my copy of KPV I've somehow emulated it using the pressure value, if I'm not mistaken they didn't drop its usage, I've added it in the first place ^^
However I am planning to try to compile a kernel module that will output multitouch events, so that we'll have automatically support for each type of gesture without trying to "emulate" with single touch events. The hardware should be capable of this, it's just kobo developers not making use of it.
