Updates from Justin Blanchard - patch 1

    * Make the docs reflect more accurately what the code actually does.
    * Update the docs: remove material specific to XFree86 3.x/4.0.
      Re-organize to reflect the wider variety of machines that use this
      device. Change the link to linuxslate.com. Expand troubleshooting
      section.
    * Code cleanup: assorted trivial changes.

xf86-input-fpit-update2.diff

Update from Justin Blanchard - part 2

    * Fix a bug that prevents active-pen users from right-clicking while
      hovering.
    * Bug was introduced with passive pen support; fix is simple and has been
      recommended in forums since Oct 2006
      (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1620646&postcount=15).
      For some reason I don't see a bug report for the issue.

xf86-input-fpit-update3.diff

Update from Justin Blanchard - part 3

    * Adds support for detecting/responding to screen resize and rotate events
      (i.e., fixing bug 3421 for FPIT users). This corrects both
      cursor-related and extended events.
    * The fix is disabled unless the user adds 'Option "TrackRandR"' to the
      InputDevice section. This is to avoid breaking setups where some
      nightmarish workaround was already in place.
    * Use of RRGetRotation may break driver under XFree86. If this is a
      problem I think xf86GetRotation can be used instead.

Marking for inclusion.
