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.
Let's reopen this, it was a kernel issue after all. (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/128#note_343260)
Created attachment 1493338 [details] 0001-HID-alps-allow-incoming-reports-when-only-the-tracks.patch Patch that fixes the issue. I'll submit it in a few minutes.
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 :)
Yes indeed, the fix is in 4.20. Thank you for fixing this issue, bug can be closed.
