I know it shouldn't be much, but it actually causes the fling to stop, whereas a smooth behaviour/movement is expected. And with the patch the lift of is actually reported with the first repeated slot, it is just that after MT_MAX_REPEATED_DROPPED the kernel actually starts sending the slot/touch information again. > > > > > What should be the expected kernel ouput? > > > > > > > Well, ideally: > > https://gist.github.com/semihalf-czubak-angela/4dd52c177372f8f0c2b4e5ada841ea95 > > > > So what helps is if > > > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 53 > > (ABS_MT_POSITION_X), value 4817 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 54 > > (ABS_MT_POSITION_Y), value 777 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 4817 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 1 (ABS_Y), value 777 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 408000 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 416000 > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.496921, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 424000 > > Event: time 1643827301.496921, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.517923, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 432000 > > Event: time 1643827301.517923, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.535920, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 440000 > > Event: time 1643827301.535920, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.554943, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 57 > > (ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID), value -1 > > Event: time 1643827301.554943, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 330 (BTN_TOUCH), value 0 > > Event: time 1643827301.554943, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 448000 > > Event: time 1643827301.554943, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > > > becomes > > > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 53 > > (ABS_MT_POSITION_X), value 4817 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 54 > > (ABS_MT_POSITION_Y), value 777 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 4817 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 1 (ABS_Y), value 777 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 408000 > > Event: time 1643827301.463888, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 57 > > (ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID), value -1 > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 330 (BTN_TOUCH), value 0 > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 5 > > (MSC_TIMESTAMP), value 416000 > > Event: time 1643827301.479920, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ > > Well, here, the timestamp says that you want the touch to come as soon > as there are 2 identical values, because it comes right after the last > modified event.
