What I understood is that the hardware is capable of detecting either the width or the pressure. I suppose that the one which is not really detected is calculated starting from the same informations, so it's actually not useful having both of them reported.
The following kernel patch will make the kernel report the width again if you want to test whether they are really dependent or not: http://pastebin.com/rjGyM5pC Either way, you have to recompile something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245328 Title: Synaptics kernel driver does not report finger width information, breaking usermode driver's palm detection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
