Hi, Dmitry, I'm wondering about the status of the patch you submitted to git. Will it being merged into 2.6.31?I really need to get back to it. The weekend is coming up, I should have time to go over it, I shall respond by Monday.Thanks. Where is the git repository I can use to retrieve the code you've submitted? I have a few changes for your patched code.I have created "sentelic" branch here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git I fetched the latest version of the driver off the sourceforge page and used it as the baseline.
Thank you. I'm reading through the differences. Looks good to me so far.
The idea is to implement full absolute packet support and not rely on relative packets because users will expect Synaptics X driver work with this device as it works with all other touchpads (Synaptics, ALPS, Elantec, BCM, appletouch).
I can understand that; however, absolute coordinates returned by current FSP hardware isn't suitable for cursor movement, which makes relative packet necessary if you want to have a functional hardware.
BTW, I have a few questions regarding protocol: What is 'arc', x1_g, x2_g, y1_g, y2_g in the absolute packet data?
Those are obsoleted information which used to represent finger tracks. -- Cheers, Tai-hwa Liang
