Subject: [PATCH] Input - synaptics: pin 3 touches when the firmware reports 3
f2c60e
 fingers
f2c60e
f2c60e
Synaptics PS/2 touchpad can send only 2 touches in a report. They can
f2c60e
detect 4 or 5 and this information is valuable.

f2c60e
In commit 63c4fda (Input: synaptics - allocate 3 slots to keep stability
f2c60e
in image sensors), we allocate 3 slots, but we still continue to report
f2c60e
the 2 available fingers. That means that the client sees 2 used slots while
f2c60e
there is a total of 3 fingers advertised by BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP.
f2c60e
f2c60e
For old kernels this is not a problem because max_slots was 2 and libinput/
f2c60e
xorg-synaptics knew how to deal with that. Now that max_slot is 3, the
f2c60e
clients ignore BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP and count the actual used slots (so 2).
f2c60e
It then gets confused when receiving the BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP and DOUBLETAP
f2c60e
information, and goes wild.
f2c60e
f2c60e
We can pin the 3 slots until we get a total number of fingers below 2.
