Specifically recent GNOME3 versions will: 1. When SW_TABLET_MODE is reported and is reporting 0: 1.1 Disable accelerometer-based screen auto-rotation 1.2 Disable automatically showing the on-screen keyboard when a text-input field is focussed 2. When SW_TABLET_MODE is reported and is reporting 1: 2.1 Ignore input-events from the builtin keyboard and touchpad (this is for 360° hinges style 2-in-1s where the keyboard and touchpads are accessible on the back of the tablet when folded into tablet-mode) This means that claiming to support SW_TABLET_MODE when it does not actually work / reports correct values has bad side-effects. The check in the hp-wmi code which is used to decide if the input-dev should claim SW_TABLET_MODE support, only checks if the HPWMI_HARDWARE_QUERY is supported. It does *not* check if the hardware actually is capable of reporting SW_TABLET_MODE. This leads to the hp-wmi input-dev claiming SW_TABLET_MODE support, while in reality it will always report 0 as SW_TABLET_MODE value. This has been seen on a "HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-cp0xxx" and this likely is the case on a whole lot of other HP models. This problem causes both auto-rotation and on-screen keyboard support to not work on affected x360 models. There is no easy fix for this, but since userspace expects SW_TABLET_MODE reporting to be reliable when advertised it is better to not claim/report SW_TABLET_MODE support at all, then to claim to support it while it does not work. To avoid the mentioned problems, add a new enable_tablet_mode_sw module-parameter which defaults to false. Note I've made this an int using the standard -1=auto, 0=off, 1=on triplett, with the hope that in the future we can come up with a better way to detect SW_TABLET_MODE support. ATM the default auto option just does the same as off.
