Ask Ubuntu Asked by Jordi Orts on October 31, 2021
I’m upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04. I have a graphics-tablet connected with my computer that 16.04 recognizes pen as a mouse. But it doesn’t work in 20.04. Output from usb-devices are identical for both versions:
T: Bus=04 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1

I: If#=0x1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid
But the results of xinput list-props is very different. In 16.04 gives

But in 20.04 gives

Based on the xinput
output you've provided, it looks like the driver changed from evdev
to libinput
.
You can try forcing libinput
to treat the device as a tablet by adding the following to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev tablet" MatchIsTablet "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event3" Driver "evdev" EndSection
You can try reverting to evdev
.
Make sure the package xserver-xorg-input-evdev
is installed. (This may or may not be sufficient.)
sudo apt list xserver-xorg-input-evdev sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
You may need to disable libinput
. You may need to add the Ignore
option to multiple sections in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "Ignore" "on" EndSection
You may need to add the following to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev tablet" MatchIsTablet "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event3" Driver "evdev" EndSection
