Bug ID: 455309
Summary: Wayland: Allow to set InputMode of input device
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.24.90
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: oliver.san...@tu-dresden.de
Target Milestone: ---
I have a SMART Podium 500, which is a large screen with a stylus:
https://support.smarttech.com/docs/hardware/podiums/podium-sp500/en/home.cshtml
This device does not work properly out-of-the-box under Wayland: stylus
movement is mapped to the entire virtual desktop (which I reported at
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411877), and no cursor appears.
The friendly folks at libinput have been very helpful at debugging this, and
there is lots of technical information at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/769
As it turns out, the device has an InputMode setting with integer arguments
0,1,2,3, and right now it doesn't seem like the default value is the best
choice. I can set the mode using the `hid-feature` command-line tool, but a
GUI somewhere in the system settings would be much more convenient.
Of course in an ideal world the correct setting would be somehow detected and
selected automatically, but my technical understanding is not sufficient to say
whether this is something that I can hope for.
