There was a problem hiding this comment.
Normal users will normally not have to modify this option (it is a driver thing), what do you think about removing it?

The way I see is that, if hid-logitech-hidpp driver is loaded, it should switch to HID++ mode, in order to be able to get the resolution at the mouse events. However, if the Kernel is compiled without it, the mouse will produce standard HID events.
In other words, I think we should merge a patchset at the Kernel with the functionality provided by this patch series:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9644899/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9644897/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9644895/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9644901/
With such patch series, if wheel is producing either HID or HID++ events should be transparent for the user, at least in low resolution mode.
Yet, being able to enable/disable HID+ feature could be useful for debugging. So, perhaps it could be disabled only at GUI - or require some debug flag in order to allow changing it - as I would find useful to be able to dynamically switch it and see if input/evdev is properly reporting events on both modes.

uh-oh, there is a small conflict |
Add support for the high resolution wheel found on MX Anywhere 2. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Set wrongly to HI_RES_SCROLLING. Correct it to HIRES_WHEEL as reported by MX Anywhere2. relates to pwr-Solaar#283 Signed-off-by: Josenivaldo Benito Jr <jrbenito@benito.qsl.br>
The event at address 0 is only produced while in HID++ mode. The rachet event (address 0x10) happens on both HID and HID++ modes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
The best is to make the logitech-hidpp driver to switch to hid++ notification mode when it starts. As we don't want users to mangle with it, let's remove support from it. PS.: I opted to keep this as a separate patch. This way, if anyone needs to add support for it, in order to debug the driver, it is just a matter of reverting this patch.

Add support for controlling and events for the MX Anyware 2 High-res Wheel
The high-res wheel allows setting 3 properties:
Currently, the Logitech HID Kernel driver doesn't handle HID++ wheel notifications. So, when this mode is set, the scroll won't work on apps. It is possible to see the HID++ messages, though, by enabling solaar debug logs.
With this mouse, mouse movement and wheel HID events, on HID mode are like those:
Those packets start with "20" and have "00" for feature request_id (with is supposed to be DEVICE_FW_VERSION).
Ratchet HID events always come from feature 0x2121.
When the mouse is in HID++, wheel events also come from feature 0x2121.
When called via CLI, solaar show will display the settings for the mouse just after the high-res feature:
11: HIRES WHEEL {2121} Multiplier: 8 Has invert Normal wheel motion Has ratchet switch Free wheel mode Low resolution mode HID notificationTested on my MX Anywhere 2 device on both CLI and GUI.
