Description of problem: Hopefully I'm doing this the right way - let me know if I'm not....

A commit recently went in for the libwacom project that fixes some stylus related issues for our platforms. I wanted to find out the best way to get it pulled into Fedora (and RHEL).
This bug is the Fedora aspect - I'll raise a matching RHEL one if that makes sense and I'm doing the right thing..
The commit is:
https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/commit/a864679083c035eb08a75cf084a6564d589c0b1c

Let me know if you need any other details. 

I'm still figuring out for Fedora the process so please let me know if I'm just going about this all the wrong way. 

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


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Take a pen
2.Pen isn't shown in Wacom Tablet configuration under settings
3.

Actual results: No Stylus found


Expected results: Stylus found

Hi Mark, I generally follow the libwacom change closely (I'm one of the upstream maintainers) and Fedora gets updated usually within the hour of me putting the upstream release out. There was a bunch of other changes to libwacom in the last few days, also to do with the AES pens and their eraser (eventually this will allow us to map the eraser button into a normal button). I'm waiting for those to settle a bit, they include API changes but expect a release within the next week or so.

Thanks Peter - that sounds great and good to know on the Fedora front :) We'd been actively involved in this update so I wanted to share and make sure it wasn't missed.

Understood on waiting for the dust to settle. No problems.

Mark

Hi Peter,

Just an information note - and I suspect you're aware of these already but I heard from Jason Gerecke that
https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/pull/179
https://github.com/linuxwacom/libwacom/pull/178

Have been merged into the libwacom branch and thought you might be interested.
These fix some eraser issues with stylus which would be nice to have in Fedora

Apparently he is also looking at some changes in Gnome to improve the support for these - not sure if that's an area you play in or will see?

Thanks
Mark

179 is the API change I mentioned above that I want to give time to settle (I just sent a PR with a bugfix for that). I'm only roughly aware of the GNOME changes - I know we need extra code in GNOME and libinput/xf86-input-wacom to be able to map eraser buttons into normal buttons. There's also a long-standing issue with GNOME and serial-id-less styli which I need to check again. Jason was most likely referring to either of those.
