The State Of Graphics Tablet Support For Libinput

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 1 March 2016 at 06:56 AM EST. 1 Comment

Linux input expert Peter Hutterer has written a blog post about the state of graphics tablet support inside the libinput input landing library.

With the recent libinput 1.2 release there is initial support for graphics tablets like the popular Wacom devices.

If you are curious how the graphics tablets work in conjunction with the libinput library on Wayland/Mir or on X11 via xf86-input-libinput, see this blog post by Peter.
