debugging a bit what happens currently on my machine, i don't seem to have any event device which libinput_device_switch_has_switch, however, when i flip it, i do get an event, but oddly from the event device called "intel virtual button driver" and i get a key event of id 240. do you think it's a kernel problem and can'tbe made work on our level? I can also try to do the patch blindly, but how to test not having the proper hardware support? (on a running kwin, i know autotests have a fake libinput that injects events) I wonder on how many devices thoise events will actually work as intended...
