The significant part is that it reports multiple touches, the
event.button is mostly useless in this mode. To work with it you have to
manually track touches, which is what the new touch input driver does.
The main difference between regular mouse emulation and the new mode is
that you'll get MOUSE_DOWN/MOVE/UP events for multiple fingers.
