iMon Knob driver issue

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

 



Hello,

Please find attached a small patch for the iMon Knob driver. I've been
trying to reach the latest maintainer (Jarod Wilson) listed in the file
since last september, getting no reply (maybe my mail did not made it
through, or went to spam).

Basically, the issue is the same as described on this webpage:
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/docs/faqs/signedchar.php. I've hit it while
running multiple distros on my Raspberry Pi and trying to use my remote
control.

I've already added it as a patch in OpenElec sources, successfully
fixing the issue in my case.

Subject: [PATCH] fix: iMon Knob event interpretation issues

Events for the iMon Knob pad where not correctly interpreted, resulting
in buggy mouse movements (cursor going straight out of the screen), key
pad only generating KEY_RIGHT and KEY_DOWN events. A reproducer is:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
        char rel_x = 0x00; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);
        rel_x = 0x0f; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);
        rel_x |= ~0x0f; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);

        return 0;
}

(running on x86 or amd64)
$ ./test
rel_x:0 @test.c:6
rel_x:15 @test.c:7
rel_x:-1 @test.c:8

(running on armv6)
rel_x:0 @test.c:6
rel_x:15 @test.c:7
rel_x:255 @test.c:8

Forcing the rel_x and rel_y variables as signed char fixes the issue.
