HID: input: map HID_GD_Z to ABS_DISTANCE for stylus/pen

2026-01-19T12:11:44+00:00

commit 7953794f741e94d30df9dafaaa4c031c85b891d6 upstream. HID_GD_Z is mapped to ABS_Z for stylus and pen in hid-input.c. But HID_GD_Z should be used to report ABS_DISTANCE for stylus and pen as described at: Documentation/input/event-codes.rst#n226 * ABS_DISTANCE: - Used to describe the distance of a tool from an interaction surface. This event should only be emitted while the tool is hovering, meaning in close proximity of the device and while the value of the BTN_TOUCH code is 0. If the input device may be used freely in three dimensions, consider ABS_Z instead. - BTN_TOOL_ should be set to 1 when the tool comes into detectable proximity and set to 0 when the tool leaves detectable proximity. BTN_TOOL_ signals the type of tool that is currently detected by the hardware and is otherwise independent of ABS_DISTANCE and/or BTN_TOUCH. This patch makes the correct mapping. The ABS_DISTANCE is currently not mapped by any HID usage in hid-generic driver. Signed-off-by: Ping Cheng Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

HID: Add Mapping for System Microphone Mute

2023-03-11T15:39:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d60f9f4f26785a00273cb81fe60eff129ebd449 ] HUTRR110 added a new usage code for a key that is supposed to mute/unmute microphone system-wide. Map the new usage code(0x01 0xa9) to keycode KEY_MICMUTE. Additionally hid-debug is adjusted to recognize this keycode as well.

HID: hid-input: add Surface Go battery quirk

2022-08-21T13:16:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit b5539722eb832441f309642fe5102cc3536f92b8 ] The Elantech touchscreen/digitizer in the Surface Go mistakenly reports having a battery. This results in a low battery message every time you try to use the pen. This patch adds a quirk to ignore the non-existent battery and gets rid of the false low battery messages.

HID: input: do not report stylus battery state as "full"

2021-09-18T11:40:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4abaa9eebde334045ed6ac4e564d050f1df3013 ] The power supply states of discharging, charging, full, etc, represent state of charging, not the capacity level of the battery (for which we have a separate property). Current HID usage tables to not allow for expressing charging state of the batteries found in generic styli, so we should simply assume that the battery is discharging even if current capacity is at 100% when battery strength reporting is done via HID interface. In fact, we were doing just that before commit 581c4484769e. This change helps UIs to not mis-represent fully charged batteries in styli as being charging/topping-off.
