[Bug 1735826] [NEW] SMART Board Pen not supported
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 17.10 | xserver-xorg-input-libinput 0.25.0-0ubuntu1 I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with a SMART Board 6000 (an interactive whiteboard) in school. The touch-screen of the board works fine. Unfortunately there are a lot of problems with the pen: - The pen isn't recognized as a device on Wayland. You can't either use it as a touch-device or write with it. - The same problem occurs when xserver-xorg-input-libinput is used on X.Org. After I replaced libinput with the old xserver-xorg-input-synaptics the pen was recognized and I could use it. The output of xinput confirms this: xinput [libinput installed]: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP id=9[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] xinput [synaptics installed]: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP Pen id=9[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP UNKNOWN id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP UNKNOWN id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP UNKNOWN id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP UNKNOWN id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=18 [slave pointer (2)] ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-libinput (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735826 Title: SMART Board Pen not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-libinput/+bug/1735826/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
