Bug ID: 104378
Summary: xinput list [name] shouldn't be restricted to a single
match
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: libinput
Assignee: wayland-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: wav...@thregr.org
xinput --version
xinput version 1.6.2
XI version on server: 2.3
I have a laptop system with two keyboards with the same name.
I'm trying to write a script to set some device parameters, and I was hoping to
get the device IDs by using:
xinput list --id-only 'name'
However, while 'list --id-only' by itself works (spitting all IDs without any
useful info), list --id-only 'name' will refuse to list anything if multiple
devices from the same vendor exist.
I understand this behavior if I was using set-prop, but 'list' shouldn't have
this restriction. list should always list *all* matching devices.
Example:
xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Finger touch id=13 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Pen stylus id=14 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=17 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=18 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Pen eraser id=20 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎜ ↳ PixArt HP USB Optical Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=19 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HID 05f3:0007 id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HID 05f3:0007 id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Plantronics Plantronics C320-M id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
xinput list 'HID 05f3:0007'
Warning: There are multiple devices matching 'HID 05f3:0007'.
To ensure the correct one is selected, please use the device ID, or prefix the
device name with 'pointer:' or 'keyboard:' as appropriate.
