Re: [PATCH] hx4700: fix hx4700 touchscreen pressure values

From: Pavel Machek
Date: Tue Nov 17 2009 - 06:45:24 EST


Hi!

> hx4700 touchscreen events were being dropped in ads7846_rx() because their pressure values consistently exceeded the platform maximum of 512; a sample of 256 pressure values were in the range 531 to 815. Doubling the platform maximum to 1024 allows hx4700 touchscreen events to pass the test.

Does pressure actually work as expected -- that is not inverted?
Because I need this patch on spitz... but it may break your
machine...
