Hi Gabriele,

[Adding Peter and Hans as this change will impact both
xf86-input-synaptics and libinput]

It looks like the current xorg-synaptics code already handles
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR as finger_width. So I think we should be good in
replacing the ABS_TOOL_WIDTH event. However, I'd prefer having Peter
confirm this because xorg-synaptics still relies a lot on the single
touch emulation.

Just FYI, this does not apply anymore on top of Dmitry's tree.
synaptics_report_slot() has been removed, and you should now report
the slot state in synaptics_report_mt_data().

That I don't like. IMO, at this point, .w should only contain the
finger width, unconditionally.
Also, with 2/2, .w is computed accurately for the second finger, but
not for the first.

I tried to figure out a way to properly extract the actual width
information from the sgm packet when the w is 0 or 1, and the only way
I found was to do the fix in synaptics_image_sensor_process(). I would
have preferred dealing with that in synaptics_parse_hw_state()
directly, but I think the final code would be more and more ugly.
Dealing with the true finger width in synaptics_image_sensor_process()
is not a problem for cr48 sensors, because they will not have the
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR event exported.

Anyway, something like that "should" work (sorry for the tab/space,
gmail in use), of course, this is untested when I send the mail :) :

Again, I'd prefer having Peter's point of view here.

If we really need both, we will need to change input-mt to also
emulate ABS_TOOL_WIDTH from ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR like we do between
ABS_MT_POSITION_X|Y and ABS_X|Y.

Benjamin

Yes, xorg-synaptics handles ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, I sent the patch for it.
The width of the fingers is used only for the two fingers emulation and
the palm detection, both of which are broken on image sensors as the
width is never reported.

I'm normally using hid-rmi for my touchpad which never sends
ABS_TOOL_WIDTH and everything seems to work correctly. Same for
synaptics with this patch, although it seems that the pressure drops
drastically when there are more than one finger, so this must be taken
into account when defining the threshold values. I'll double check that
everything is correct for 'z'.

It works perfectly with some adjustments:

	/* When multiple fingers are on the TouchPad, the width is encoded in
	 * X, Y and Z */
	if (sgm->w == 0 || sgm->w == 1) {
		sgm->w = (((sgm->x & BIT(1)) >> 1) |
			  (sgm->y & BIT(1)) |
			  ((sgm->z & BIT(0)) << 2)) + 8;
		sgm->x &= ~BIT(1);
		sgm->y &= ~BIT(1);
		sgm->z &= ~BIT(0);
	}

Regarding the last part on cr48 sensors.
Currently these sensors are not reporting widths through ABS_TOOL_WIDTH
and I don't see what could go wrong if they start reporting
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR. If I understood correctly, they can report widths
only when one finger is on the touchpad. This means that they will
report widths through slot 0, but they won't through slot 1. Nothing
bad should happen.

I've just rebased my patches and included the support for cr48 sensors.
The only change I made was to change the default width value from
5 to 4 since this is the minimum values these sensors can report
(according to the existing code).

Anyway, should I simply include the changes you suggested to handle
widths of sgm packets in what will be the new 2/2?

I am not entirely sure. The entire purpose of having widht for palm
detection is to filter palm from true finger events. So if we only
have the width info on the first slot, it would be useless IMO.
Still I agree with "nothing bad should happen" :)

Go ahead and include my changes in your 2/2. It's better to have a
consistent commit.

synaptics doesn't actually use TOUCH_MAJOR for finger width, we just forward
it as axis information (not that anyone uses it).
dropping TOOL_WIDTH would only affect palm detection which unreliable, off
by default and mostly broken. so this is fine with me.

fwiw, I found finger width _very_ unreliable for palm detection. from what I
recorded, both finger width and palm width ranges overlap to a large amount,
making width useless for anything that's not the whole hand on the
touchpad.

From conceptual perspective if device is not capable of reporting
contact size for each contact then it should not be sending
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, same as we do not send ABS_MT_PRESSURE if we can't
provide per-contact pressure. For such devices we revert to ST-events
ABS_PRESSURE and I guess we'll have to continue with ABS_TOOL_WIDTH for
contact sizes in Synaptics.

Thanks.
