* fallback: hires scroll heuristics for buggy devicesJosé Expósito2021-09-273-0/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices might announce support for high-resolution scroll wheel by enabling REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and/or REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES but never send a high-resolution scroll event. When the first low-resolution scroll event is received without any previous high-resolution event, print a kernel bug warning and start emulating high-resolution scroll events.

* High-resolution scroll wheel supportPeter Hutterer2021-08-314-0/+188
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for high-resolution wheel scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES. Both axes send data in fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120 amounts to one logical scroll event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel movement less than one detent. This commit adds a new API for scroll events. Three new event types that encode the axis source in the event type name and a new API to get a normalized-to-120 value that also used by Windows and the kernel (each multiple of 120 represents a logical scroll click). This addresses a main shortcoming with the existing API - it was unreliable to calculate the click angle based on the axis value+discrete events and thus any caller using the axis value alone would be left with some ambiguity. With the v120 API it's now possible to (usually) calculate the click angle, but more importantly it provides the simplest hw-independent way of scrolling by a click or a fraction of a click. A new event type is required, the only way to integrate the v120 value otherwise was to start sending events with a discrete value of 0. This would break existing xf86-input-libinput (divide by zero, fixed in 0.28.2) and weston (general confusion). mutter, kwin are unaffected. With the new API, the old POINTER_AXIS event are deprecated - callers should use the new API where available and discard any POINTER_AXIS events. Notable: REL_WHEEL/REL_HWHEEL are emulated by the kernel but there's no guarantee that they'll come every accumulated 120 values, e.g. Logitech mice often send events that don't add up to 120 per detent. We use the kernel's wheel click emulation instead of doing our own. libinput guarantees high-resolution events even on pre-5.0 kernels.

| | | | | | | | | | | | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/512 disables input smoothing for AES devices. However, some AES devices produce segmented/wobbly curves without smoothing. This change introduces an `AttrTabletSmoothing` boolean property, which overrides the default smoothing behavior.

* doc/user: make "verifying install" command portableAndrea Ippolito2021-07-261-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | According to the linker man page libraries are searched in the following paths: LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable Paths in the cache file /etc/ld.so.cache /lib, /usr/lib, /lib64 and /usr/lib64 As we are not using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, we can rely on ldconfig as a fairly portable solution because it "creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/lib and /usr/lib)".

| | | | | | | | | | | This only affects the actual dragging part of the tap-and-drag interaction; n-finger tap-and-drag is supposed to be performed with a n-finger tap followed by a 1-finger drag. Allowing a second finger in the middle of a drag is still necessary for a finger swap, which users may need in long-distance drags, especially when drag-lock is disabled.

* doc/api: fix the doxygen output handlingPeter Hutterer2020-09-292-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using output: ['.'] broke ninja after ninja clean - it removed the whole directory and thus the meson-generated configure_files (i.e. all the doxygen sources we copied). ninja didn't know how to build those. Fix this by rearranging the doxygen output to build into a different directory now and setting the output to that. This doesn't exactly *fix* things since that directory is no longer removed during ninja clean, but at least the build no longer fails. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

* touchpad: ignore the ALPS jump to 4095/0Peter Hutterer2020-09-071-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some ALPS touchpad send the occasional 4095/0 event on slot 1 during two-finger interaction before snapping back to the actual position of the finger. There doesn't seem to be a specific heuristic to predict this so let's hardcode those values. When detected, overwrite the current touch point with the position of the last point. This will likely cause a small pointer jump when the finger later moves to the real position but based on #492 this could be a second later, so all bets are off anyway.
