The lines you posted are never executed with certain touchpads, look right above them:
if (SYN_CAP_IMAGE_SENSOR(priv->ext_cap_0c)) { synaptics_image_sensor_process(psmouse, &hw); return; } synaptics_image_sensor_process() uses synaptics_report_slot() to send the events to the userspace. The last patch I posted makes synaptics_report_slot() send ABS_TOOL_WIDTH. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245328 Title: Synaptics kernel driver does not report finger width information, breaking usermode driver's palm detection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
