Created attachment 358122 [details] Xorg.log before code change Description of problem: The MSI Wind AE1900 'net top' has a built-in touch screen identified as an 'IDEACO IDC 6681'. evdev configures this as a touchpad. As a result of this the cursor does not react appropriately and tapping does not function. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.4-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine into X 2. Check Xorg.log Actual results: "Found absolute touchpad" Expected results: "Found absolute touchscreen" Additional info: If evdev.c is modified from if (num_buttons || TestBit(BTN_TOOL_FINGER, pEvdev->key_bitmask)) { to if (TestBit(BTN_TOOL_FINGER, pEvdev->key_bitmask)) { it works as expected, however this is probably not the best fix.

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
Original Reporter: First, sorry about how long this bug report has sat with no triage being done. Would you be willing to install and update a current release Fedora 12 and let us know if this issue still exists? If you are, and it does, I'll assist in pushing this forward to a dev for patching. Thank you for your efforts. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

I'm not the original reporter, but I have the same model machine (AE1900), and am trying to make the touch screen work properly (IDEACO IDC 6681), and I have Fedora 12 loaded on it. It tried to treat it like a Synaptics device at first, that didn't work. Was able to get it working with the attached FDI file. The device appears to present itself as two devices, one I get events out of, the other I don't. Having both as xinput devices breaks the calibration utility that I used, so the FDI file disables one of them (the one that doesn't generate any events). (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator)
(In reply to comment #10) > The device appears to present itself as two devices, one I get events out of, the other I don't. I guess this is the usual side-effect of the HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT in the kernel for this device.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
