Until recently, I had only built libinput if I was building things
like kde5, and for those it was treated as a dependency, I didn't
use it in Xorg. But it seemed to be in a stable position, so late
last year I decided to use it in my new builds when building Xorg -
I can't say it replaces evdev, it has that as a dependency.
Seemed to work on the first build, but that had not been getting a
lot of use. Over the past few days I've been using it, and
discovered that firefox tabs seemed to scroll of their own accord,
or move a tab to a new window, or on one occasion close a tab.
For the last few hours I've been using that machine to measure a new
rustc build. The monitor is small, so my windows overlap a lot.
And now I've got galculator open to do the maths. What seems to
happen is that the mouse pointer perhaps seems slow to appear, so
that I move it too far, over another window, and there it somehow
seems to generate a spurious click to switch to that window,
followed by more spurious events.
That has meant that one vim session ended up reposting several items
as well as inserting text perhaps highlighted by tooltips when on the
calculator, using the calculator was tricky, and the term where I had
been building got extra newlines and at least one of the items that I
think came from a tooltip got inserted after the prompt.
This is all on a machine with PS/2 mouse and keyboard - anybody else
using libinput, and if so, is it ok with you ?
Unfortunately, my second build with libinput hasn't yet completed
my full Xorg build, so I don't yet know if it has similar issues.
