Hi Benjamin,
I've tried the hid-tool for testing on my linux machine and it
works. However the issue comes from a game controller I don't posses in
hand right now so I can't physically connect it and provide the log from
hid-tool recording. I do have the raw HID descriptor and in Linux
kernel the debug info is like below:

Thanks for the report descriptor. That allowed me to add the device to
the tests at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bentiss/hid-tools/-/commits/wip/gamevice
And also to realize that... "how is that thing supposed to be working????"

It took me a while to realize that you were needing
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/patch/20201101193452.678628-1-lzye@xxxxxxxxxx/
for that.
But the weird part is that Hat switch are usually used as a single
variable, with values being mapped to Hat0X and Hat0Y. So I still
haven't manage to understand how the hid-input driver would map the
axis to a regular one between 1 and 255...

Button.0010 ---> Key.?
ff02.0004 ---> Key.Btn0
Consumer.0224 ---> Key.Back
Simulation.00c4 ---> Absolute.Gas
Simulation.00c5 ---> Absolute.Brake
So you can see the device has D-Up, D-Down,D-Right,D-Left usages, and
D-up is mapped to Hat1X.
OK, now I am starting to understand the problem better.
Also if you can send HID report from hid-tool, you will see there are
always intail events on Hat1X/Hat1Y as the HatDir is 0, even no DPAD
buttons pressed. When you send HID report with D-DPAD buttons with
different state, it doesn't generate any axis events because the HatDir
internally is still 0 regardless the report value of the 4 DPAD usages.
That's the part I am a little bit stuck. I can emulate events for X,Y,
buttons,... but I am not sure how the gamepad sends the events for the
Hat switch and the D-Pad together.
Again, before we merge anything, I'd like to have the proper tests
written for it, on top of
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bentiss/hid-tools/-/commits/wip/gamevice
so we can ensure there is no regression for it, and that we will not
regress on it later on.
Cheers,
Benjamin
Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Generic Desktop DPAD usage is mapped by hid-input, that only the first
DPAD usage maps to usage type EV_ABS and code of an axis. If HID
descriptor has DPAD UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT HID usages and each of usage size
is 1 bit, then only the first one will generate input event, the rest of
the HID usages will be assigned to hat direction only.
The hid input event should check the HID report value and generate
HID event for its hat direction.
Test: Connect HID device with Generic Desktop DPAD usage and press the
DPAD to generate input events.
Thanks for the patch, but I would rather have a proper tests added to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/hid-tools
We already have gamepads tests, and it would be very nice to have this
patch reflected as a test as well. This would also allow me to better
understand the problem. I am not sure I follow the whole logic of this
patch without seeing the 2 variants of report descriptors.
Cheers,
Benjamin
