Title:
HP_WMI bad report on tablet mode
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi, I'm trying to get the 'SW_TABLET_MODE' event to work correctly on my HP
Spectre X360.
I think I got most of the peaces of the puzzle, but I need help putting them
together.
*hp-wmi is suppose to trigger this event, but has some error on startup, here
is dmesg:
```
[ 2.711444] input: HP WMI hotkeys as /devices/virtual/input/input14
[ 2.714634] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size
160 (bits) (20160831/dsopcode-236)
[ 2.714643] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\HWMC] (Node
ffff8da6c60c1730), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543)

```
*I believe that the problem is related to a [known
problem](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Spectre_x360_13-4231ng#Issues),
where the airplane mode key is spammed because everytime I open the computer
to more than 180* and close it again to normal I get another spam of airplane
mode keys
*I believe the problem is acpi related.
*If I cat the event of INT33D6 ```
cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-INT33D6:00-event
```
I get garbage output `XXXX+X+` when over 180* (tablet state) and when back
to normal (laptop state)
*I think there is a mixup of INT33D3 and INT33D6, because INT33D3 (or
PNP0C60) is suppose to be incharge of laptop mode see here:
[https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn457868](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn457868)
[https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9306475/](https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9306475/)
I also decompiled my DSDT, here is the relevant part (I think):
```
Scope (_SB)
{
Device (VBPA)
{
Name (_HID, "INT33D6" /* Intel Virtual Buttons Device */) //
_HID: Hardware ID
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status
{
If ((OSYS >= 0x07DD))
{
Return (0x0F)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}
}
Name (VBST, Zero)
Method (VBDL, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ECOK == One))
{
If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.CVTS == Zero))
{
VBST = 0x40
}
Else
{
VBST = Zero
}
}
}
Method (VGBS, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ECOK == One))
{
If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.CVTS == Zero))
{

}
Else
{
VBST = Zero
}
}
Return (VBST) /* \_SB_.VBPA.VBST */
}
}
Device (CIND)
{
Name (_HID, "INT33D3" /* Intel GPIO Buttons */) // _HID:
Hardware ID
Name (_CID, "PNP0C60" /* Display Sensor Device */) // _CID:

{
If ((OSYS >= 0x07DD))
{
Return (0x0B)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}
}
}
}
```
*Putting the the computer at tablet state and back at laptop state result in
the folllowing messages on dmesg:
```

*I can't read the output of hp-wmi:
```

```
```
sudo cat /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/tablet
9:12PM
cat: tablet: Invalid argument
```
After trying to read it I get these messages on dmesg:
```
[12025.122317] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size

(Node ffff8da6c60c3690), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543)
```
*xev output is identical when pressing airplane mode key and when switching
from laptop to tablet and vise versa:
```
MappingNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248
```
I hope this would help other user too,
Thanks in advance,
Itay
