Bit of an update just to make you all really jealous.

A couple little tweaks gets nice solid touch support on the studio 17.  One is just the slack at the end of input so that touch doesn't disconnect when a spurious empty frame comes in (n-trig seems to do a lot of that).  Its an old change that I 
haven't yet sent off to kernel, but probably should do so soon.  The second, is a little more forgiving on the size of the contact.

As for reasons to be jealous, the studio 17 is giving me a 6 contacts.  (Stephane won't be jealous since he's already playing with 10 contact devices)
Contact size doesn't seem to be as stable as good as the XT.  But that's just first impressions, I will have to test more.  I doubt that I'll be able to do anything meaningful about that (also don't think it matters that much).
