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-evdev/-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 pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] xinput [evdev/synaptics installed]: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=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)] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libinput/+bug/1735826/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
