#77 Don't ship with xorg-x11-drv-wacom installed by default
Closed: Deferred to upstream 2 years ago by ngraham. Opened 2 years ago by ngraham.

This package causes the wacom driver to be used for touchscreens rather than the libinput driver, which breaks touch on X11. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1964687 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-84756 for details.

Ideally this problem would be fixed upstream or patched out in Fedora's packaging (which is what Ubuntu and openSUSE currently do), but until either of those things happen, we might want to consider not shipping with xorg-x11-drv-wacom installed by default.


Let's see what happens with the BZ first...

It seems to be a legitimate upstream issue. See https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/issues/178

We can work around it by setting the following on each boot when the package is installed:

xsetwacom set `xsetwacom --list devices | \grep TOUCH | tr -dc '0-9'` gesture off

Alternatively we can avoid installing the package.
