@section tablet-capabilities Required tablet capabilities
To handle a tablet correctly, libinput requires a set of capabilities
on the device. When these capabilities are missing, libinput ignores the
device and prints an error to the log. This error messages reads
<pre>
missing tablet capabilities: xy pen btn-stylus resolution. Ignoring this device.
</pre>
or in older versions of libinput simply:
<pre>
libinput bug: device does not meet tablet criteria. Ignoring this device.
</pre>
When a tablet is rejected, it is usually possible to check the issue with
the `evemu-descibe` tool.
- **xy** indicates that the tablet is missing the `ABS_X` and/or `ABS_Y`
axis. This indicates that the device is mislabelled and the udev tag
`ID_INPUT_TABLET` is applied to a device that is not a tablet.
- **pen** or **btn-stylus** indicates that the tablet does not have the
`BTN_TOOL_PEN` or `BTN_STYLUS` bit set. libinput requires either or both
of them to be present. This usually indicates a bug in the kernel driver
or the HID descriptors of the device.
- **resolution** indicates that the device does not have a resolution set
for the x and y axes. This can be fixed with a hwdb entry, locate and read
the 60-evdev.hwdb file on your machine to address this.
