On the P52, I currently have: [ +0.000009] max: (3045,1731) drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c:428 [ +0.000003] traces: (24,14) drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c:429 -> with the computation done in the kernel: width_ratio: 126 height_ratio: 123 For my average finger, the reported traces are between 4 and 6: With the ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE: Major between 144 to 216 Minor between 132 to 198 Without: Major between 504 to 756 Minor between 492 to 738 So a rough augmentation of 350% For the Synaptics devices (over SMBus), they send the raw value of the traces, so you will get a major/minor between 2 to 5. Max on these axes is 15, so we should get the same percentage of value comparing to the range. Elan's vendor report contains such information, which indicate how many trace are touched by finger/palm mk_x = (finger_data[3] & 0x0f); mk_y = (finger_data[3] >> 4); Do we need to use mk_* for major/minor for keeping it consistent with other vendor? But this modification will impact Chromebook's usability and Chrome test suite. Which is why libinput has a database of which device reports which pressure/major/minor ranges as otherwise the values are just impossible to understand.
