I have no idea. I've posted an excerpt from a patch for 2.6.32 kernel. Our cupcakes are running on 2.6.27. My point was just that there's no multi touch support even in more recent Linux kernel (like 2.6.32) which could consequently mean that Melfas doesn't publish specs for their device(s) in order to allow someone to write a proper driver for Linux. Or it could just mean that no one bothered to implement it completely yet. One thing is sure, this device isn't as popular and widely used as the ones from, say, Synaptics (which have good support under Linux).
So why didn't Samsung just use Synaptics? I've been reading a bit about Melfas and it turns out that they have been Samsung's partner for a long time. Every single Samsung touchscreen phone has a Melfas device in it (either resistive or capacitive).
Now. This MCS-5000 may or may not be the exact same device as the one we have on our Galaxies. No one knows that for sure (apart from Samsung -- maybe
). But it is a similar device and it certainly is from the same manufacturer.
By the way, if someone disassembled their phone and read a small print on a touchscreen controller chip, please do tell.
EDIT: BTW, Xenon, how come only you have "Zagreb" where everyone else has (Junior/Senior) Member or Moderator written? Is Zagreb some kind of user role here?
