debugging a bit what happens currently on my machine, i don't seem to
have any event device which libinput_device_switch_has_switch,
however, when i flip it, i do get an event, but oddly from the event
device called
"intel virtual button driver" and i get a key event of id 240.
do you think it's a kernel problem and can'tbe made work on our level?
I can also try to do the patch blindly, but how to test not having the
proper hardware support? (on a running kwin, i know autotests have a
fake libinput that injects events)
I wonder on how many devices thoise events will actually work as
intended...
From libinput documentation it seems to only be Lenovo Yoga currently.
And you probably need a rather new kernel, maybe even unreleased ones.
This is a pretty brand new feature in libinput and I don't think it's
widely exposed.
Best ask Peter Hutterer, he will also be able to help you get your
device supported so that we have it for everyone. I expect this will be
a great crowd effort which should be doable. If we have the
infrastructure and easy way to test/debug, we should be able to get some
users to help there.

I want to provide a dbus service in KWin to export the state. Apps
cannot use libinput directly, one needs root for that.

Hi all,
one thing i wanted to look into, is to detect when a trasformable
laptop goes
in tablet mode from applications, so that plasmashell and kirigami
apps
can
adapt themselves and do things(tm)
KWin does that (on wayland) already, and i see it uses libinput for
that, like
i seem to evince from this recent commit (and the logic when to show
the on
screen keyboard)
https://cgit.kde.org/kwin.git/commit/?
id=ac2f41c86d3b5b13ba3655e6c2f17f59a4cb7f01
would a normal application use libinput too or is something reserved
to
the
compositor?
what would be the right way(tm) there? a dbus signal from KWin?
