Re: [PATCH 2/3] hid-multitouch: Filter collections by application usage.

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

 



Hi Jeff,

I like the patch as it partially solves the problems left by
b84bd27fe70206f9253c395958134e4e4b7e55f0 (fix broken egalax). The
previous patch mapped buttons but now it should be ok.
Though, we still have the problem of the distinction between stylus and finger.

It would worth the effort to know if reverting
b84bd27fe70206f9253c395958134e4e4b7e55f0 and apply this one instead
still works for eGalax 480d owners (and mosart too IIRC).

Maybe I'm wrong, but 0 means that hid-input will decide what to do.
Maybe we should return -1 instead, to be sure not handling this part.

I checked (with some greps) the reports we have, and it seems that all
the device we know provide this application. So it should be safe, but
I'm not able to test it.
Stéphane, if you have the time to test it on our lab's devices that
would be great.

Cheers,
Benjamin
