Also, if you can get the firmware id from your touchpad that would also
be useful.
$ sudo ./rmihidtool -f /dev/hidraw0
firmware id: 1522295
Thanks, I will see if I can get any additional information on this.

Hi,
I think I found the source of the problem.
$ ./rmihidtool /dev/hidraw1 -r 0x50 1
0x01 #PalmDetect Interrupt Enable, right?
Yes, 0x50 does appear to be the address of the palm detect interrupt
enable register.
$ ./rmihidtool /dev/hidraw1 -w 0x50 0 #Disable PalmDetect Interrupt
It makes more sense now that widths greater than 12 trigger the bug.
That is weird behavior and I haven't seen anything like that before. I
will file a bug to see if firmware has any idea why this is happening.
According to the RMI4 specification, gesture interrupts are cleared
only once specific flag registers, F11_2D_Data8 and F11_2D_Data9, are
read. So I tried to read those register and found that the following
command stops the events:
It is unusual to see firmware gestures enabled for HID/I2C touchpads. In
fact none of the touchpads I have have that functionality enabled, which
is why I haven't been able to test. On HID touchpads there is a layer in
the firmware which reads the RMI registers and packs them into the HID
attention report. My guess is that the HID layer is not reading
F11_2D_Data8 or 9 causing it to assert indefinitely. Since this isn't a
common firmware configuration that is probably why this hasn't been
observed before.
$ rmihidtool /dev/hidraw1 -r 0x24 1 # I was looking for F11_2D_Data8
I'm not sure I got the right address as reading any register close to
0x24 (such as 0x25, 0x26) has the same effect. I would have expected
this to happen only reading one specific register.
With this firmware, F11_2D_Data8 should be at 0x3A. It's 2 bytes for
finger state + 5 bytes per finger * 5 fingers for abs data + 2 bytes
per finger * 5 fingers for rel data. I'm not sure why reading 0x24 would
stop the reports though.
I also honestly don't know why palms are detected when the width is at
least 12, PalmDetectThreshold is 0 and so the palm detection should
be inhibited.
This seems to be set in the firmware config. It looks like
PalmDetectThreshold is only used when the reporting mode is 001. The
default reporting mode looks like it is 000.
Hi Andrew,
is there any plan on implementing a function to write registers? This
would allow me to easily disable the PalmDetect Interrupt when the driver
is loaded without relying on external tools. Reading F11_2D_Data8
continuously seems unnecessary.
Writes are not that complicated. We just haven't had a need to do them
in the driver yet which is why there isn't a write function implemented
already. After thinking about this again I think you are right and
disabling the palm detect interrupt in the driver makes sense. Its easy
enough to see if the firmware has palm detect enabled and simply disable it.
Not totally related. Is there any use for the dribble interrupts? I'm
wondering if they could be disabled by default. I'm my case these
interrupts go on for about a second, making the I2C host controller
generate a lot of interrupts. A quick tap for example make INT33C3
generate more than 5000 interrupts when dribbling is enabled and less
than 200 interrupts when disabled. The difference is not really
insignificant, so if they have no real use, I'd disable them by default
in order to save some power.
Good point, I believe on Linux the input subsystem is filtering out all
of the duplicate reports and they aren't going to userspace. Which does
make them pointless on Linux.
Both of these changes are pretty straightforward, especially once a
write function is implemented, so I think I can have some patches ready
at some point this week.
Andrew
