+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
+				  device (in pixels)
+ - touchscreen-fuzz-y		: vertical noise value of the absolute input
+				  device (in pixels)
+ - touchscreen-fuzz-pressure	: pressure noise value of the absolute input
+				  device (arbitrary range dependent on the
+				  controller)
+ - touchscreen-inverted-x	: X axis is inverted (boolean)
+ - touchscreen-inverted-y	: Y axis is inverted (boolean)
+
+Deprecated properties for Touchscreens:
+ - x-size			: deprecated name for touchscreen-size-x
