+General Touchscreen Properties:

+Optional properties for Touchscreens:
+ - touchscreen-size-x		: horizontal resolution of touchscreen
+				  (in pixels)
+ - touchscreen-size-y		: vertical resolution of touchscreen
+				  (in pixels)
+ - touchscreen-max-pressure	: maximum reported pressure (arbitrary range
+				  dependent on the controller)
+ - touchscreen-fuzz-x		: horizontal noise value of the absolute input
