By default, Wacom stylus moves in absolution mode. However, there are cases when users want the cursor move in relative mode. For instance, when user needs to reach objectives on another screen, while pen is mapped to one screen in absolute mode, they'd like to be able to switch to relative mode by pressing a button. Relative mode also offers a broader/faster coverage when drawing.
Looking at some old bugs and found this one. tbh, I'm wondering if it's really worth adding this to the libinput x driver. The configuration options for libinput are different and we're unlikely to retire the Wacom x driver anytime soon. So for anything more complicated than basic tablet handling I think it's better to stick with the Wacom driver. Otherwise we'd have to implement a bunch of features in libinput in awkward ways again (e.g. the serial number property). So unless there's a real game changer somewhere I'm going with xf86-input-libinput for everything but tablets in Xorg and xf86-input-wacom for tablets. Under Wayland this isn't an issue because libinput supports either mode. Sounds good?
I see your point. Let's forget about the issue and move on. You can close the request.
