[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 742567] Re: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties
The solution for the CTM problem (which is what causes the wacky cursor jumping) is this patch, which was accepted into upstream on 19 Nov 2012; it is not yet in precise-proposed, but I was able to rebuild xorg- server-1.13.0 (from 12.10) with this patch and the problem went away: http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-devel@lists.x.org/msg33742.html There is another version of the patch floating around somewhere if you want to fix 12.04. IMHO, there is no good reason to break evdev's swap and invert properties, though. For the simple rotation case, they seem like the obvious right thing to use. Why should they not work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742567 Title: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oif/+bug/742567/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi Timo, Chase, and David, I am not sure you are using the correct CTM's. Hopefully the ones I have posted here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1656089 are correct. But I agree with you Chase and that the original bug should be patched so evdev can again swap and invert axes.

Thanks Stefan, I'll check that out. They seemed to work OK for me.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 742567] Re: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties
I have tried many combinations. Using only the input transformation matrix with swapping and inversion turned off when the coordinate transformation has the form 0 -1 1 x y 0 0 0 1 where x+y = 1 and x is bigger than about .2 the following unstable behavior exists: when a horizontal or vertical drag is performed the cursor jumps wildly - it appears to jump between what it should be according to the coordinate transformation and what it would be if x=0 and y=1 (that is if the second line of the matrix was the identity). With a diagonal drag or a touch the cursor appears where it should be. So for example with the correct rotation 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 the cursor appears under your finger to the touch or a diagonal drag, but with a vertical or horizontal drag it jumps wildly alternating between where it should be (under your finger) and somewhere else, which appears to be the untransformed input. As if for some reason the evdev driver only applies the transformation at alternate points during a vertical or horizontal drag. It's pretty odd behavior.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 742567] Re: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties
Unlike swap axes, the coordinate transformation does not work properly at least not with all devices. First, the wiki is in error, the correct transformation for a rotate left is 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 and not 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1. However with Ubuntu 11.04 and a Lenovo S-10t3 when the axes are reversed with this transformation touching the screen results in the correct location of the pointer, but dragging on the screen causes the pointer to jump wildly from the correct location to an alternative location. It's hard to see in what sense the problem has been fixed by dropping a procedure (swap axes) that worked and replacing it with one (coordinate transformations) that doesn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742567 Title: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi David, Thanks for catching the mistake on the rotation matrix! I didn't have a machine I could test it out on, so I made an educated guess. I have fixed the wiki page. Are you trying to combine axis swapping in evdev with an input transformation matrix? If so, that would give indeterminate results.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 742567] Re: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties
Chase: thanks for the wiki article, it is very helpful! I have found that on my devices, the affine coordinate translation is done in normalized floating point coordinates and not in pixel coordinates. And the normalization is different for different devices. For example, to rotate 180 degrees, I need the following matrix for Wacom Pen input: xinput set-prop $ID Coordinate Transformation Matrix -1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 -1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 (which is very reasonable, and stable even under resolution change -- this would be my preferred behaviour).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 742567] Re: multitouch events do not respect swap/invert axes properties
The evdev driver has the capability to swap and invert axes, but it is not how I would recommend doing this anymore. As you point out, those properties only affect pointer motion events. While we could extend the functionality to touch events, a better resolution would be to use the X server's Coordinate Transformation Matrix property. This bug inspired me to write a wiki page all about coordinate transformation in X :). You can find it at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InputCoordinateTransformation This will properly translate event coordinates for both pointer and touch events, though touch valuators will always be in device coordinates. Note that while the functionality is difficult and cumbersome to use today, the hope is we will be able to integrate it into some form of display settings UI in the future. Since there is a better solution for the desired functionality, I'm going to mark this bug as Won't Fix.
