I do not think we ever got confirmation from Dave or Jingle; from my POV
I really dislike arbitrary mangling of the data.

I think you are right that the issue is with order of calls, and we need
to switch the touchpad into absolute mode to get valid results from the
ID query call. Dave, Jingle, any impot here?

Benjamin, Kai-Feng, do you know if we try to switch to absolute mode
to begin with, will it cause issues with SMBus mode?

Thanks.
