Same exact problem with another machine (Dell XPS13 9333). I'm not using Ubuntu, but Debian. I can confirm it happens with v3.12 and v3.13.
Here what Xorg.log.0 says: [ 5.548] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: finger width range 0 - 15 Still, ABS_TOOL_WIDTH is never reported. Here the patch I'm currently using to have a working palm detection: http://xps13-9333.appspot.com/root/0001-Don-t-use-finger-width-for-the-palm-detection.patch It's not perfect, but better than nothing. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245328 Title: Synaptics kernel driver does not report finger width information, breaking usermode driver's palm detection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1245328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
