[PATCH 08/10] elantech: track finger to distinguish coordinates in 2-finger report

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The elantech hardware is limited when reporting two fingers. It just
reports the minimum and maximum coordinates of the rectangle containing
the fingers.

As multitouch protocol requires at least to report the correct position
of each finger, we track the finger position when there is only one
finger to distinguish which corner of the rectangle corresponds to the
actual position of the fingers. When there are three fingers, only the
minimum position is reported, so we just don't track it and hope the
last tracked position has the most likelihood to be correct.

It works fine, at least as long as the two fingers don't get
horizontally or vertically aligned, after what it's back to random.
This also allows to avoid so "jumps" in the single-touch protocol.
