Slow speed gestures on my winmax fork

[postkevone]

Hello. I have created a fork of this project to support Win Max 2020 hardware: https://github.com/postkevone/VoodooI2CGoodix-winmax

Everything works fine, but the gestures are very slow. Is there anything I can modify in order to increase gestures speed?

Thank you.

Huh, what does a slow gesture look like? Can you post a video?

Sure, here's the video:

Got it, so it's not necessarily slow, it's just that a scroll gesture is only scrolling a tiny amount when we expect it to scroll a huge amount... Is this also true for zoom? Rotate? I wonder if there's some scaling issue with the values being sent... You'll need to start adding a ton of IOLog statements to see what's really going on with the values being sent, I'd probably start here.

Also, your changes seem pretty minor on your fork. I see the show/hide cursor stuff, that's absolutely worth contributing. I wonder if you can check any information from the touchscreen or perhaps PLIST config to determine if the acpi_device->evaluateObject("_PS0") is required (also what is that doing? where did it come from? does it hurt other devices?) and maybe we can see if interrupt_source->enable() is harmless elsewhere. If so, a PR would be nice so the mainline project has your changes instead of a fork.

Yes every multitouch gesture scrolls by a tiny amount. Thank you for your help. I am kind of new to debug stuff of MacOS, do you know any site/guide where I can learn how to debug this kext properly?

I got the acpi_device->evaluateObject("_PS0") line from here: https://github.com/lazd/VoodooI2CGoodix/pull/20/commits/10b4f985e0a620240345b942c0ee0fcdf88e30b4 I also don't know if I really need it or not, but after some testing i noticed that the kext works fine even without that line.

Regarding interrupt_source->enable(), it seems necessary for the driver to start on the winmax. Another think that doesn't work properly is wakeup after sleep, could it be related in some way?

For debugging, see existing usage of IOLog in the code and google how to read logs.

As far as your sleep issues, that’s 100% patching. You’ll never get this working right without correctly patching, and that’s not something I know anything about.
