A evemu-record of some movements or something like that? Or do we need to bring Peter into the loop in case it has something to do with libinput?

I agree it's very unlikely to be related to your other issues. One approach to suppress the extra output would be to turn off CONFIG_RMI_F34. I think your proposed change in wording would be fine, though. cheers Nick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yes, collecting some evemu-record logs of the jumps would be useful. Only after installing Fedora 25 was I able to see jumps while moving diagonally. I'm interested in seeing what others record and if it is the same as what I saw. The log of the jump did show the jump on Fedora 25. But, I did not see the jump with Ubuntu 16.10 with libinput 1.4.3.

Given that there is no proper handling of MT_TOOL_PALM yet in userspace, I thought it was the easiest way. However, it seems that this doesn't enhance the jumps and just make it worse. Is there anything we can do to fix it (besides temporary disabling the automatic loading of hid-rmi)?

I was assuming that the jumps and palm rejection where two separate issues. But, the palm rejection patch makes things worse? > Is there anything we can do to fix it (besides temporary disabling the > automatic loading of hid-rmi)? I do not have a fix for the jumps yet. My next step is to file a bug against libinput or the kernel. I used evemu-record to capture a log with jumps, but when I play it back with a different userspace input stack with an older version of libinput I do not see the jumps. I see the jumps on Fedora 25 with libinput 1.6.3 vs Ubuntu 16.10 with libinput 1.4.3 with X). Or at least the jumps are not as significant. But, its possible there is an issue with how the events are being reported which is incorrect and confusing libinput. The X and Y coordinates being reported by the firmware seem correct and I haven't found a problem yet. I thought a bug would be a better place to collect evemu-record logs and compare. Hopefully, this will end up being a quick fix in the kernel and we can get it applied to 4.11 without having to hold off on disabling hid-rmi for PTPs.

Without anything else to go on, I'd say it's the new touchpad acceleration code from libinput 1.5 - the max accel factor has changed so depending on the speed of the jumps, you can now get stronger pointer movement.

I think Peter is right that versions of libinput 1.5 and later do make the jump more pronounced. But, the new acceleration code my simply be amplifying the jumps. I went ahead and filed a libinput bug since the jumps are more significant in newer versions of libinput and I attached some evemu-record logs. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100436 I also spent time looking into the kernel drivers to see if they were causing or contributing to the jumps. One of the things that I tried was calling rmi_irq_fn() from a workqueue instead of calling generic_handle_irq(). Originally, we were using a workqueue before interrupt handling was added to the rmi core. I also tried moving the call to generic_handle_irq() to a workqueue. In both cases the jumps seemed to disappear or at least be reduced. I looked through the irq handling code and I did not see anything which should cause an issue. The only difference between irq thread and the workqueue that I could think of is that the irq thread runs at a higher priority. But, I didn't really see much of a difference between the timing of the events in the evemu-record logs. At this point I am still not sure if the issue is that the events are being reported incorrectly by the kernel or if the new touchpad acceleration code in libinput is just not handling the events correctly. I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm not sure how much time we have left before we need to decide if we need to go back to hid-multitouch or not.

TLDR: input data is (often) in steps in stead of diagonal motion. libinput amplifies those steps when pointer acceleration kicks in. See the long analysis in the bug linked above for more detail. I wish the data was better but I suspect it can't be, so we'll have to work around this in libinput (averaging of deltas or something like that).
