Public bug reported: I have a HP Pavilion x360 convertible 15 br0xx. This laptop has a multitouch touchscreen and an active pen/stylus.
On ubuntu 16.04, the touchscreen used with fingers and the pen/stylus work properly. The touchscreen was identified as «ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8» as slave pointer and the pen as «ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 Pen» as slave pointer too. But, on ubuntu 18.04 bionic with gnome shell, the pen/stylus is identified «ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 Pen» as slave keyboard instead as slave pointer. Touchscreen work well until pen/stylus is used. At this point, a new device «ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 Pen Pen (0)» is enabled. The touchscreen stops working and the pen/styles works but with some issues. ~$ xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 Pen Pen (0) id=18 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wide Vision HD Camera: HP Wi id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ELAN0732:00 04F3:24B8 Pen id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] After disable devices id=11 and id=18, touchscreen recovers its multitouch feature. There is no combination enabling/disabling ids 10, 11 and 18, to get multitouch and pen working together. On Wayland session, I get the same behavior. Note: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS clean installation with «minimal install option» and no other customization. ** Affects: xinput (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768169 Title: touchscreen doesn't work properly after stylus detection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinput/+bug/1768169/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
