Hi, This is the bugreport I also reported at the Red Hat Bugzilla, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1559632. 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.fc27 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
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/reporting_bugs.html has list of information I need, in this case specifically the evemu of the touchpad and the trackpoint, and a libinput debug-events --verbose output (of the initial blurb it posts, without input events).
Thank you Peter for your response! I have the following information: On Gnome Wayland with the touchpad disabled and an external mouse connected (on Xorg the trackpoint works with the touchpad disabled, on Wayland the trackpoint does NOT work when the touchpad is disabled): $ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:13 id=6 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:13 id=7 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ xwayland-keyboard:13 id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] $ udevadm info /sys/class/input/event9 P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-1/i2c-DLL07A0:01/0018:044E:120B.0003/input/input10/event9 N: input/event9 S: input/by-path/pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1-event-mouse E: DEVLINKS=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1-event-mouse E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event9 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-1/i2c-DLL07A0:01/0018:044E:120B.0003/input/input10/event9 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_MOUSE=1 E: ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICK=1 E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1 E: ID_PATH_TAG=pci-0000_00_15_1-platform-i2c_designware_1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=18/44e/120b:i2c-DLL07A0:01 E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=73 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: USEC_INITIALIZED=2679075 $ udevadm info /sys/class/input/event10 P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-1/i2c-DLL07A0:01/0018:044E:120B.0003/input/input8/event10 N: input/event10 S: input/by-path/pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1-event-mouse E: DEVLINKS=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1-event-mouse E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event10 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-1/i2c-DLL07A0:01/0018:044E:120B.0003/input/input8/event10 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_HEIGHT_MM=46 E: ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD=1 E: ID_INPUT_WIDTH_MM=99 E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:15.1-platform-i2c_designware.1 E: ID_PATH_TAG=pci-0000_00_15_1-platform-i2c_designware_1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=18/44e/120b:i2c-DLL07A0:01 E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=74 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: USEC_INITIALIZED=2693454 $ sudo libinput debug-events --verbose event3 -

> In Xorg this is the behaviour sorry, I must have read over this bit initially. Simply said - this is not a libinput problem then because libinput doesn't know whether its used under wayland or xorg and always does the same thing. So the most likely issue here is with gnome somehow disabling both devices though I honestly couldn't guess at why. The code paths are mostly identical in gnome too. Either way, I'm going to have to punt this to mutter, sorry.
Thank you Peter, should I file a bugreport at the Gnome bugzilla or Mutter Gitlab? I don't no which one is more appropiate/active
start with mutter and let's see how we go from there. Please CC me on it (@whot on gitlab)
(In reply to Peter Hutterer from comment #5) > start with mutter and let's see how we go from there. Please CC me on it > (@whot on gitlab) I submitted the bug at Gitlab, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/128 I don't know how to CC you on Gitlab :)
all good, I CC'd myself (I think :). iirc Gitlab automatically adds someone if you mention them by their handle.
