Logitech K400 Plus trackpad not recognized #18

Closed johnblommers closed 2 years ago

johnblommers commented 2 years ago

I have a Logitech K400 Plus keyboard.

It has a trackpad and left/right buttons built into in

It interfaces to the computer via Logitech Unifying Receiver.

Fingerpaint does not recognize it as a trackpad.

Is there a way to inform Fingerpaint to use this trackpad?

Wazzaps commented 2 years ago

Try finding your trackpad in ls -l /dev/input/by-path/*-event-mouse. For each of your suspects, run sudo evtest /dev/input/eventX | grep 'ABS_MT' (where X is the device). If touching your trackpad doesn't generate lots of output, I'm afraid it's not supported (it doesn't provide the necessary info). If it does, post a snippet of the output here.

johnblommers commented 2 years ago

OK I can confirm that the trackpad is /dev/input/event9 and present the raw output below. There is no string ABS_MT included, instead we see EV_REL. My guess is that these are relative X and Y events rather than absolute events.

Is it reasonable to suggest that Fingerpaint might be enhanced by summing up the X and Y delta messages to derive an absolute position? No pressure.

Sadly this means I can't know where you initially pressed the finger, so I don't know where to start drawing. If drawing from the center (or the last position) every time you lift the finger will help you in any way, I'm willing to implement it behind a debug flag.

johnblommers commented 2 years ago

You make a good point. You don't really want to support this little Logitech Keyboard trackpad due to its fundamental limitations. It would drive an artist mad having to cope with drawing this way. Let's close this out, and thanks for your thoughfulness :-)
