Heads up, we'll be using close/open in libinput's issue tracker as "is actionable" vs "needs info". Unfortunately close/reopen is the only thing all reporters can do, so that's what we'll use to signal state changes.

So don't get angry, closing a bug doesn't mean it's actually closed.

What is libwacom you didn't ask? Well, let me mansplain anyway: it's C library that provides you with information about graphics tablets that you can't otherwise get from the device itself. Thinks like "is this tablet integrated into a screen" or "does this stylus have an eraser".

Code wise it's a bunch of text files with a C library around those.

Another busy 3 months for libwacom but 2.14 is now out and we have new APIs to support styli from vendors other than Wacom (this appears to be mostly a theoretical case for now) and a new integration flag to denote remotes like the Wacom ExpressKey Remote, Huion KD20, XP-Pen ACK05, ...

Oh, and for those of you on immutable distros, you can now put .tablet files into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libwacom

The next version of xkeyboard-config will support the MS Copilot Key. Because nothing says AI is ready for prime time than XKB support for it.

udev-hid-bpf now has a full writeup on how I added the Huion Keydial K20 - if you have a Huion device it'll likely get you 90% of the way there.

Anyone have a contact at Huion? I'm looking to get a list of usb PIDs for some old devices.

Apropos of nothing, a few months back I was looking for a HID parsing crate and couldn't find a useful one. So I started writing my own which is now hidreport for HID report {descriptor} parsing and hut for the HID usage tables. Both are here:

https://github.com/orgs/hidutils/repositories

Together with hid-recorder and hid-replay implementations.

(This is a bit MyFirstRust project so I'm assuming the API can be done better)

The point of this post is: it's not as simple as "more configuration is good" and "less configuration is bad". There's a balance, except any two people will have three opinions on where that balance lies.

For many years every user of a Huion/XP-Pen/... tablet needed to add an xorg.conf entry because we didn't match against all tablets in the xf86-input-wacom driver.

Because configuration was available and easy, it was never reported upstream which means we never noticed and fixed it for everyone there.

This is fixed (upstream) now that I actually noticed.

And a fun side effect: if configuration weren't that easy we'd have had a bug report about this years ago.

hidraw revoke ioctl queued for 6.12 🎉

with (pending) logind support this means we'll be able to hand hidraw fds to applications and revoke those on vt switch (or whenever we feel like, really).
