Description Ignacio Casal Quinteiro 2016-05-16 07:03:10 UTC
With the new f24 two finger scrolling is kind of mandatory for now since before I was using the edge scrolling and you managed to get it working perfectly for me. Instead I realized that one of the annoying things from two finger scrolling is that if one of the fingers is on the edge of the touchpad it will not scroll at all, instead it will behave like if you were not doing anything. See attached log.

Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2016-05-16 23:47:14 UTC
cause here is that the second finger is detected as palm. Having palm detection enabled during two-finger scroll is probably a mistake.
Comment 3 Peter Hutterer 2016-05-24 23:33:17 UTC
can you verify the touchpad size as 80x44mm? if not, please run the touchpad-edge-detector tool and let me know the physical size. I'm wondering if we need size-restrictions for any behaviour changes here (it's not likely you'll get into the edge zone on a large touchpad)
Comment 4 Ignacio Casal Quinteiro 2016-05-25 06:26:02 UTC
This is what the tool says:

[nacho@winterfell ~]$ sudo touchpad-edge-detector /dev/input/event6 
Touchpad AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad on /dev/input/event6
Move one finger around the touchpad to detect the actual edges
Kernel says:	x [0..2000], y [0..1400]
Touchpad sends:	x [0..1960], y [113..1436] /^C

Touchpad size as listed by the kernel: 80x43mm
Calculate resolution as:
	x axis: 2000/<width in mm>
	y axis: 1400/<height in mm>

Suggested udev rule:
# <Laptop model description goes here>
evdev:name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad:dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvrA14:bd08/19/2015:svnDellInc.:pnPrecisionM4700:pvr01:rvnDellInc.:rn082H3V:rvrA00:cvnDellInc.:ct9:cvr:*
 EVDEV_ABS_00=0:1960:<x resolution>
 EVDEV_ABS_01=113:1436:<y resolution>
 EVDEV_ABS_35=0:1960:<x resolution>
 EVDEV_ABS_36=113:1436:<y resolution>
Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2016-05-25 07:33:01 UTC
what's the real size? :)
Comment 6 Ignacio Casal Quinteiro 2016-05-25 07:42:34 UTC
It should be something like: 84x47mm
I thought this was set more accurate in the kernel... :)
Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2016-05-30 05:51:13 UTC
save this below as a separate .hwdb file. look at the 60-evdev.hwdb file for instructions on what to do with this then.

evdev:name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad:dmi:*svnDellInc.:pnPrecisionM4700*
 EVDEV_ABS_00=0:1960:24
 EVDEV_ABS_01=113:1436:30
 EVDEV_ABS_35=0:1960:24
 EVDEV_ABS_36=113:1436:30

once the hwdb applies reboot and see if that changes the resolution to 24/30 in evemu-describe. Note it won't fix the bug but it should bring the real vs kernel-reported ranges in line
