Hi,

I've tried described by you solution:

diff --git a/drivers/hid/hid-core.c b/drivers/hid/hid-core.c
index 37084b645785..81f271554b6c 100644

You need to add this to the hid_have_special_driver[] and not the hid_ignore_list[].
Nice score for me - two lines and one bug :-)

But, if you do success in binding hid-rmi to a touchscreen it won't work. The firmware between touchpads and touchscreens are different enough that the hid-rmi driver will be looking for data which does not exist in touchscreen's HID report. These differences also mean that it really isn't a good idea to try to support touchscreens with hid-rmi. It would actually result in more transactions and be less efficient then simply using hid-multitouch. That's why hid-core checks for the HID_SCAN_FLAG_GD_POINTER in an attempt to make sure it's binding to a touchpad and not a touchscreen.
It was just like you predict. On rmi, after first tap on screen, hidraw produced infinite number of events and it is not usable anymore.

Hi,

A week ago I've reported a bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195625 Is there anybody
that
can
help me with it?
I can have a look at it.
Please attach the full outputs of hid-recorder and evemu-record in the
bugs, or it'll be difficult for us to debug it.
I've attached full logs for two situations. More details in the issue.
Thanks, looks like a firmware issue (I'll comment in the bug).
Sorry for my noob questions, but do you suggest that it can't be fixed by
changes in kernel modules and I need to report it to the manufacturer?
Yes. Though Andrew, in CC, works for Synaptics and might give us some pointers.

If it so, do you have an idea why it works well on Windows? Do they have
some strange hacks in their drivers?
I have no ideas how well it works under Windows, and I have no ideas
if there are some strange hacks in the Windows nor in the Syanptics
driver (I would assume so).


We don't provide any drivers for touchscreens on Windows. So I don't know how Microsoft is handling a situation like this.
Do you know what should be changed in firmware to make hid-touchscreen driver works correctly? Or maybe you know someone who is responsible for firmware for this device and whom I can call to gather this information?

Cheers,
Arek
