I don't really understand this point. The hid multitouch panel sleep issue has been solved in hid-multitouch. Normally there are no problems with suspend to ram (if you mean that by autosuspend) except if the device need to be in a special mode (as for most multitouch devices).

(60*4) Personally, I don't care with fuzz. My idea of the kernel is that it needs to send data from the device with less transformations (or we won't be able to use it in user space). You should ask Henrik Rydberg on fuzz as he is the one to introduce it in hid-multitouch. There is also a problem with your explanation: fuzz should not be related to screen resolution as in the kernel we are not aware of the screen resolution and the mapping. I think, and it's my own opinion that fuzz should be used when the device is not stable, i.e. when it has a range of 4096 for instance and the values are floating in a range of 10 for instance. Then, on some integrated platforms (tablets, and others) fuzz can be used to not awake too much the different processes that rely on input. But I would say this is a side effect of the original goal (again, it's my only guess). > > 3 Seemed few drivers (only egalax and intel-mid-touch) are using this > fuzz param, so in most cases, it is one in-case params to leave to > user for 'tuning' only?

Dimitry and Jiri may have a different view on this.
