Bug Description
Expected behavior: Mouse follows stylus.
What actually happens: Mouse moves with X=Y no matter where the stylus is.
Detail:
I have an HP Revolve 810 G2 Tablet PC, it uses an Atmel MaxTouch digitizer for both finger and stylus-based input.
I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 x64. Finger touch works fine, once calibrated. However, the stylus moves diagonally from upper left to lower right no matter where on the screen I put the tip of the stylus.
Fix:
I was able to fix this problem by building a raw linux kernel after editing "drivers/
static void hidinput_
map_rel(usage->hid & 0xf);
- map_abs(usage->hid & 0xf);
+ map_abs_
Obviously, this kernel causes a lot of issues without Ubuntu's patches for X and whatnot, so this is not really useable other than for testing that the pen works fine with this kernel. Built on kernel 3.18.4, but it should work for any kernel in the 3.x branch.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.19 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' .
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.
