With x_max set to 2432, what range of x values does this print when scrolling works, and what range of values are printed when scrolling doesn't work?

Sorry for the late reply.

I checked your suggestion, and noticed that actually x_max is a red
herring. Then I started looking at the output of evtest (should have
done from the beginning!), and the problem became obvious: the
reported X values for MT with finger > 1 are doubled, e.g. it reports
4800 instead of 2400. The MT_Y coordinate looks OK, so it's only
about MT_X. And finger=1 reports correctly.

After reading the code, I ended up the patch like below. This seems
working through a quick test. Could anyone check the patch to see
whether it works / breaks anything?

The evtest showed that the MT_X for finger 3 and 4 are also bogus, and
the patch should address it, too.

My only concern so far is whether correcting this globally is right,
or it's specific to some certain models. This needs the confirmation
from ALPS people...


thanks,

Takashi
