Bug ID: 502203
Summary: Stylus stopped working in Wayland, but works in X11.
The Systems detects the stylus but the cursor doesn’t
follow it.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input

SUMMARY
My main PC is an Envy x360, Ryzen 5 2500U, which is running KDE fully updated.
My stylus (to write directly on the screen, not in a drawing tablet) stopped
working in Wayland. It works if I login in X11.
It worked ok when I installed Manjaro, in late 2024. I believe it stopped
working with the inclusion of the “Drawing Tablet” menu in the System Settings.
It looks like the Systems detects the stylus since the mouse cursor blinks when
i touch the screen, but it doesn’t follow the stylus.
Thanks for the awesome work
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just use the stylus in a wayland session
2. If the session is changed to X11, it woks as expected
3. Back to the wayland session and the problem returns
OBSERVED RESULT
This happens allways. It is not an issue with apps or particular tasks. It can
be reproduced in the desktop screen.
When I move the stylus closer to the screen, the PC detects the pen, the mouse
cursor dissapears, as expected.
When I touch the screen, que cursor reapears in the position it was before. It
doesn't track tip of the stylus.
When I lift the stylus, the cursor disseapears.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor tracking correctly, click when touch, etc.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This behaviour was observed with 3 different stylus. An original HP stylus, an
Uogic (borrowed) and a Lazarite M (borrowed).
All 3 stylus worked fine in a similar PC with Win11.
