GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 709680
Support hardware touch switch for Wacom tablet settings
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:00:07 UTC
Wacom's new Intuos added a hardware switch to turn off/on touch events. When this switch is enabled, no touch events are reported. UI should show the existence of this switch as well as its status so users know what is going on. We have a software touch switch in X driver. Touch events can be filtered (turned off) by Wacom X driver. Now, the question is, do we still enable software touch switch for devices that have a hardware switch? I would think we have either software or hardware switch. But not both, to ease UI support. However, I am not going to do the UI work. I'd like to know what works for you guys.
Ping and I talked about this in private email, I personally think this should be similar to the WiFi configuration where we have a HW switch on some laptops, in addition to the software switch that's always available. UI-wise IMO the big question is where and when to show this switch
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
