Hi Stéphane,

I think we use the term tracking id differently here. The HID_DG_CONTACTID is
actually the slot id, and the tracking id is a sequential number, increased
whenever the touch is new. I believe the patchset works correctly as long as
there is less than 32768 new touches before releasing the oldest one. :-)

Cheers,
Henrik
