xinput or an equivalent isn't available under wayland, but the majority of use-cases of "why doesn't my device work" or "why does feature X not work" should be covered by simply listing the local devices and their config options. Example output: Device: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Kernel: /dev/input/event4 Group: 9 Seat: seat0, default Size: 97.33x62.40mm Capabilities: pointer Tap-to-click: disabled Left-handed: disabled Nat.scrolling: disabled Calibration: n/a Scroll methods: *two-finger Click methods: *button-areas clickfinger Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

.TH LIBINPUT-LIST_DEVICES "1"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
libinput-list-devices \- list local devices as recognized by libinput
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B libinput-list-devices [--help]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I libinput-list-devices
|
|
tool creates a libinput context on the default seat "seat0" and lists all
|
|
devices regonized by libinput. Each device shows available configurations
|
|
the respective default configuration setting.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For configuration options that allow multiple different settings (e.g.
|
|
scrolling), all available settings are listed. The default setting is
|
|
prefixed by an asterisk (*).
|
|
.PP
|
|
This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the
|
|
/dev/input/eventX nodes.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP 8

|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
.PP
|
|
Some specific feature may still be available on a device even when
|
|
no configuration is exposed, a lack of a configuration option does not
|
|
necessarily mean that this feature does not work.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A device may be recognized by libinput but not handled by the X.Org libinput
|
|
driver or the Wayland compositor.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An xorg.conf(5) configuration entry or Wayland compositor setting may have
|
|
changed configurations on a device. The
|
|
.I libinput-list-devices
|
|
tool only shows the device's default configuration, not the current
|
|
configuration.
