+ * NEW packets are send to indicate a discontinuity in the finger

+ * us.
+ *
+ * NEW packets have 3 problems:
+ * 1) They do not contain middle / right button info (on non clickpads)
+ * this can be worked around by preserving the old button state
+ * 2) They do not contain an accurate fingercount, and they are
+ * typically send when the number of fingers changes. We cannot use
+ * the old finger count as that may mismatch with the amount of
+ * touch coordinates we've available in the NEW packet
+ * 3) Their x data for the second touch is inaccurate leading to
+ * a possible jump of the x coordinate by 16 units when the first
+ * non NEW packet comes in
+ * Since problems 2 & 3 cannot be worked around, just ignore them.
