Hi everyone,
I wrote this little patch that merges hid-egalax into hid-multitouch.
(It applies to 2.6.38-rc7, but I can rebase it as you please...) The
latter driver has to gain a new quirk type (MT_QUIRK_EGALAX) for fixing
the reported ranges (X,Y and Z) and work around the corrupt packet
length (td->last_field_index).
With these changes it works like a charm for my Samsung MB30
touchscreen and by the way fixes the broken suspend/resume behavior.
So I'd like you to test it for other egalax devices and give me your
feedback on this patch.
Thanks and Greetings,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Thank you very much for this work. This reminds me that we have to
switch the other drivers to hid-multitouch too.
Actually, I was not in favor of porting this driver into
hid-multitouch. eGalax has two differents protocols: one for resistive
technology (which is compatible with hid-multitouch in its current
form), and one for capacitive technology (which requires the "corrupt
packet length" quirk).
Apparently, according to the kernel logs the Samsung MB30 is a
resistive technology (correct me if I'm wrong). This means that we
also need testings for the capacitive one.
I'll let the community decide whether we should include this in
hid-multitouch. Henrik, Jiri, any idea?
Now let's go for the review!
Cheers,
Benjamin

Indeed, thanks a lot Richard.

That would be nice. I don't see this really being done for the upcoming
merge window, right Benjamin?

Either directly hid-multitouch, or hid-multitouch-capacitive sub-module
should be fine.
Thanks for the efforts,

There has been no activity in that direction here either...

Maybe it is obvious already, but I think the patch is great. There is
really no reason to split the driver - in particular given that the
manufacturer has ensured similar behavior from both types.
Thanks,
Henrik

I've got Stantum, Cando and 3m that can be merged right now. I mean
that they have been tested and do not have regressions (crossing
fingers).
This let Quanta and Mosart. I'm sure they worked some weeks ago, but
I'm not sure (tested the last few days) ATM.
If you want, I can send the three that goes well, and for the other,
we'll see for 2.6.40.
I have the auto-detection of contact counts that could go for 2.6.39 as well.
Cheers,
Benjamin

Perfect, thanks a lot for your work on this.

Yes, please send around whatever you have and consider ready for merge, so
that it could be reviewed and merged for the upcoming merge window still.
Thanks again,
