HP Stream 11-d077nr" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104101">bug 104101</a> from <a class="email" href="mailto:peter.hutterer@who-t.net" title="Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>"> Peter Hutterer</a> <pre>speed is *one* metric for palm detection, but doesn't apply in this case. Here it's a simple timeout, not the movement speed itself. IOW if you move out of the area quickly enough, we assume this was a real movement. This is needed because large left<->right movements frequently start with a finger in the edge area. Palms often move around a bit but less so than a finger, hence the timeout - if it stays within the edge for long enough we assume it's a palm. There's room for improvement as usual, e.g. we should have a maximum motion towards the center at which we should un-palm the touch again. But no-one's found the time to work on that yet. Also, it's always hard to compare to macos - the apple touchpads are *very* good, if I'd have to write libinput so it only works for those life would be a lot easier :)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
