Hi,
I've tried described by you solution:

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?
In case there *really* is broken firmware out there, we can specifically
identify via struct input_id's version number for example,
I thought that Benjamin identified this as a broken firmware. I've
attached hidraw log in the issue and there is no release event, so it
looks like a firmware bug. How do you suggest to handle this situation
in kernel? We can identify the device but what to do next if we have no
information if user released finger or not?
I want to
point out that I would accept adding a workaround in tslib's input-raw
module ( http://tslib.org ) if it won't be done in the kernel.
So, in case you can and want to use tslib as a workaround here, feel
free to have a look and send the patches that make input-raw.c work for
you over there.
I want to be as handy as I can but I'm not sure how tslib could help in
this situation. If we have too much data, it can filter out unnecessary
events but I don't think that it can help when there is lack of events
or I'm missing something?
Again, only if it won't be done in-kernel.
thanks
martin
