Hi Roderick, > Pointer emulation is undesired on drivers, which didn't request this > capability like the hid-sony driver for the Dualshock 4.

So why call input_mt_sync_frame() in the first place? The existing drivers that use ABS_X / ABS_Y independently do not call that function. It seems your recent hid-sony patches adds it, which leads to broken behavior. > --- > drivers/input/input-mt.c | 3 ++- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/input/input-mt.c b/drivers/input/input-mt.c > index a1bbec9..30c8128 100644 > --- a/drivers/input/input-mt.c > +++ b/drivers/input/input-mt.c > @@ -305,7 +305,8 @@ void input_mt_sync_frame(struct input_dev *dev) > if ((mt->flags & INPUT_MT_POINTER) && !(mt->flags & INPUT_MT_SEMI_MT)) > use_count = true; > > - input_mt_report_pointer_emulation(dev, use_count); > + if (mt->flags & (INPUT_MT_POINTER | INPUT_MT_DIRECT)) > + input_mt_report_pointer_emulation(dev, use_count); > > mt->frame++; > } > That said, I am not against this patch at all, I think it is good, but the commit message should address the effect on the large number of existing drivers that use this functionality. Is any of them affected by this patch? As you probably know, we do not like to break userspace. >From what I can see, only hid-multitouch (Benjamin?) and hid-sony use input_mt_init_slots() in such a way that MT_POINTER or MT_DIRECT cannot be directly inferred. So if Benjamin sees no issues with this, I am ok with the change.
