[PATCH v4 10/12] HID: multitouch: report MT_TOOL_PALM for non-confident touches

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

 



From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>

According to Microsoft specification [1] for Precision Touchpads (and
Touchscreens) the devices use "confidence" reports to signal accidental
touches, or contacts that are "too large to be a finger". Instead of
simply marking contact inactive in this case (which causes issues if
contact was originally proper and we lost confidence in it later, as
this results in accidental clicks, drags, etc), let's report such
contacts as MT_TOOL_PALM and let userspace decide what to do.

changes in v4:
- dropped the touch major/minor modifications for palm events

no changes in v3

changes in v2:
- dropped the delayed release in case of palm detection. This is
  a FW bug for PTP devices, and should only happen with touchscreens
- move input_set_abs_params(hi->input, ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE,...) into
  its own test so other devices can add MT_QUIRK_CONFIDENCE to their
  quirks.
