Hi Jon,

this sounds like an nice idea but I think this is technically  
impossible. Opie uses QtE which in turn uses
tslib for reading events. If it is technically possible one should be  
able to patch tslib to report them. Then
for QtE we might need a method to distinguish the two 'input' devices.

anyway I'm not a big help here

regards
