Due to commit cdda911c34006f1089f3c87b1a1f31ab3a4722f2 evdev only becomes readable when the buffer contains an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT event. So in order to read the tablet sensor data as it happens we need to ensure that we always call input_sync() after input_report_switch() Signed-off-by: Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez <clopez@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/platform/x86/classmate-laptop.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/classmate-laptop.c b/drivers/platform/x86/classmate-laptop.c index 2ca7dd1..0667aa9 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/classmate-laptop.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/classmate-laptop.c @@ -723,8 +723,10 @@ static void cmpc_tablet_handler(struct acpi_device *dev, u32 event) struct input_dev *inputdev = dev_get_drvdata(&dev->dev); if (event == 0x81) { - if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(dev->handle, &val))) + if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(dev->handle, &val))) { input_report_switch(inputdev, SW_TABLET_MODE, !val); + input_sync(inputdev); + } } } @@ -737,8 +739,10 @@ static void cmpc_tablet_idev_init(struct input_dev *inputdev) set_bit(SW_TABLET_MODE, inputdev->swbit); acpi = to_acpi_device(inputdev->dev.parent); - if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(acpi->handle, &val))) + if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(acpi->handle, &val))) { input_report_switch(inputdev, SW_TABLET_MODE, !val); + input_sync(inputdev); + } } static int cmpc_tablet_add(struct acpi_device *acpi) @@ -757,8 +761,10 @@ static int cmpc_tablet_resume(struct device *dev) struct input_dev *inputdev = dev_get_drvdata(dev); unsigned long long val = 0; - if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(to_acpi_device(dev)->handle, &val))) + if (ACPI_SUCCESS(cmpc_get_tablet(to_acpi_device(dev)->handle, &val))) { input_report_switch(inputdev, SW_TABLET_MODE, !val); + input_sync(inputdev); + } return 0; } -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
