Description Kadir 2018-03-22 22:39:19 UTC
Description of problem:

When in a Wayland session disabling the touchpad also disables the trackpoint. Only when enabling the touchpad in gnome-settings (in Xorg) and returning to Wayland session the trackpoint works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Libinput 1.10.2-4.fc28

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable touchpad in Xorg
2. try to use trackpoint in Wayland
3. trackpoint does not work

Actual results:


Expected results:

The trackpoint should work regardless of the touchpad settings. In Xorg this is the behaviour, in Wayland the touchpad and trackpoint are locked together. 

Additional info:

This is on a Dell Latitude 7480

Sorry about the late answer, my email filters were messed up and dropped F28 emails. I see you've moved this to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106109 now, let's continue it there.

Comment 2 Benjamin Tissoires 2018-10-12 13:59:55 UTC
Let's reopen this, it was a kernel issue after all.
(see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/128#note_343260)

Hi Benjamin,

Is the fix in for kernel 4.20?

Thank you

Upstream commit 7dd8db68949a7acc5bd528ee0ecb8f8720f49921, and git says 

$ git tag --contains 7dd8db68949a7acc5bd528ee0ecb8f8720f49921
v4.20
v4.20-rc2
v4.20-rc3
v4.20-rc4
v4.20-rc5
v4.20-rc6
v4.20-rc7
v5.0-rc1
v5.0-rc2
v5.0-rc3


So let's assume this one is in 4.20 and close this bug :)

Comment 6 Kadir 2019-02-13 06:48:58 UTC
Yes indeed, the fix is in 4.20. Thank you for fixing this issue, bug can be closed.
