Compared to hid-multitouch, the RMI stack seems to have completely
broken
palm rejection and introduced some random jumpiness during fine
pointing
motions. I don't know if these issues are caused by the above errors
or
are a separate issue.
The error about the bootloader version not being recognized just means
that updating the firmware is not supported on this touchpad. It is only the
F34 firmware update functionality which is failing to load. The palm
rejection and jumps are not related to this error.
Maybe that code path should be changed to not make as much noise when it
runs
on known unsupported hardware. Something like the attached patch?
Looking at how hid-multitouch handles palms it looks like palms should
not be reported as active when calling input_mt_report_slot_state(). I'm
setting the tool type to MT_TOOL_PALM when the firmware determines that a
contact is a palm. But, that does not seem to be sufficient enough to have
the palms filtered out. After some quick testing it looks like the change
below will restore palm rejection similar to that provided by
hid-multitouch.
It looks like your email client ate the tabs, but if I apply the change
myself it seems to fix the palm rejection regression for me.
Tested-by: Cameron Gutman <aicommander@xxxxxxxxx>
Sorry, I was short on time and just copied the diff into the email. I'll
submit a proper patch soon with your tested-by included. Thanks for testing.
I just pointed out this patch (well the actual submission) to Jason
(Cc-ed). Given that there is no proper handling of MT_TOOL_PALM yet in
userspace, I thought it was the easiest way.
However, it seems that this doesn't enhance the jumps and just make it worse.
I was assuming that the jumps and palm rejection where two separate
issues. But, the palm rejection patch makes things worse?
Is there anything we can do to fix it (besides temporary disabling the
automatic loading of hid-rmi)?
I do not have a fix for the jumps yet. My next step is to file a bug
against libinput or the kernel. I used evemu-record to capture a log
with jumps, but when I play it back with a different userspace input
stack with an older version of libinput I do not see the jumps. I see
the jumps on Fedora 25 with libinput 1.6.3 vs Ubuntu 16.10 with libinput
1.4.3 with X). Or at least the jumps are not as significant. But, its
possible there is an issue with how the events are being reported which
is incorrect and confusing libinput. The X and Y coordinates being
reported by the firmware seem correct and I haven't found a problem yet.
I thought a bug would be a better place to collect evemu-record logs and
compare.
Hopefully, this will end up being a quick fix in the kernel and we can
get it applied to 4.11 without having to hold off on disabling hid-rmi
for PTPs.

Just to confirm: I noticed "jumpiness during fine pointing motions" as
well since switching to 4.11-rc.
One of my test systems is a XPS 13 9343 and I have not really seen any
jumpiness. But, based on the data I am seeing that if I lift my finger and
place it again in a short period of time the first event or so will be at
the location of the previous contact. Then it will switch over to the
current location. When switching over to hid-multitouch I was unable to
reproduce this behavior. This definitely could be the source of the jumps.
The jumpiness definitely happens without lifting my finger, but I'm
willing
to test any patch you think would improve the situation. Moving one finger
slowly in a figure-8 across my touchpad shows the issue clearly for me.
The
small variations in speed of my finger due to the friction on the trackpad
get magnified to relatively large jumpy pointer movements on screen. It
seems much more noticeable in diagonal movements than completely vertical
or horizontal movements.
Regards,
Cameron
