Palms move cursor from sides" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97347">bug 97347</a> from <a class="email" href="mailto:pauljohn@ku.edu" title="Paul Johnson <pauljohn@ku.edu>"> Paul Johnson</a> <pre>I don't see any difference before and after. Maybe I don't know what to look for. I got idea from your exclusion document that the outside 10% (or so) of touchpad would not initiate touches, especially on the left. If I drag a finger on left--top to bottom near the edge--cursor should not move. Right should do nothing moving from bottom to top. I wondered, in the output from touchpad-edge-detector, where it has EVDEV_ABS_00=1278:5665:<x resolution> EVDEV_ABS_01=1217:4649:<y resolution> EVDEV_ABS_35=1278:5665:<x resolution> EVDEV_ABS_36=1217:4649:<y resolution> what does it mean <x resolution> or <y resolution>. In any case, I'm going to test the libinput build suggestion. Here is the implementation info on # Dell Precision 5510 evdev:name:SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDellInc.:pnPrecision5510* EVDEV_ABS_00=::42 EVDEV_ABS_01=::43 EVDEV_ABS_35=::42 EVDEV_ABS_36=::43 pauljohn:hwdb.d$ sudo udevadm hwdb --update pauljohn:hwdb.d$ sudo udevadm trigger /sys/class/input/event7 pauljohn:hwdb.d$ sudo udevadm test /sys/class/input/event7 calling: test version 229 This program is for debugging only, it does not run any program specified by a RUN key.
