-To use this driver:
-
-1. Add in your halconf.h:
-	a) #define GFX_USE_GINPUT			TRUE
-	b) #define GINPUT_NEED_MOUSE		TRUE
-
-2. To your makefile add the following lines:
-	include $(GFXLIB)/drivers/ginput/touch/STMPE811/ginput_lld.mk

+The STMPE811 driver comes with two different #defines to perfectly fit
+your application:
+
+
+STMPE811_NO_GPIO_IRQPIN
+This Macro is meant to be set in your board file. When you set this macro to
+TRUE, the GINPUT module will not use the IRQ lane which might be connected
+to a GPIO pin to recognize interrupts by the STMPE811 controller. This
+costs a few more I2C calls.
+When the interrupt IRQ pin is connected to a GPIO of your MCU, set this
+macro to FALSE.
+
+
+STMP811_SLOW_CPU
+If you have a slow CPU and you need to take care of your resources, you can
+set this macro TRUE. This will save some IRQs and therefore a few I2C calls.
+The disadvantage is a little higher response time.
+If you don't want to draw continious lines on your display, it's recommended
+to set this to TRUE anyways.
