Salut @DavidRevoy. I'd love to know how to contact the people behind udev-hid-bpf to get my Xencelabs PD16 and medium tablet styluses being able to have completely reassignable buttons. Since libinput now supports this, is this a kwin thing, or something else? What needs to be recoded or patched in order to get this fixed? This makes a lot of styluses unusable or - more annoyingly - semi-usable, which is a massive distraction to the creative workflow. This is NOT a feature request, or a nice-to-have. This is ESSENTIAL. So, anything I can do on my end to help it along, I'm in. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
