I didn’t experience much RSI discomfort when using a phone touchscreen. To try to get back to regular activities, I bought a used Lenovo Yoga 12 20DK, reminiscent of a deeply beloved Acer R11 c738t convertible chromebook I used for half a decade before and through university. In retrospect, I didn’t do enough research - this specific variant doesn’t have a pen digitizer, but does have a touchscreen. Some useful tools are sudo hid-record and sudo evemu-record, from libevdev. sudo xsetwacom --list [GitHub - Whisprin/thinkpad-yoga-scripts: Thinkpad Yoga 12 touchscreen fix for GNU/Linux](https://github.com/Whisprin/thinkpad-yoga-scripts) has a nifty set of utilities, but this is not this device is a Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:501b Wacom Co., Ltd Pen and multitouch sensor sudo dmesg | grep wacom yielded the error ‘’’ wacom\_set\_report: "ran out of retries (last error = -110) ‘’’ In Wayland, xsetwacom did not list any devices. Logged out and switched to x11, and there were some hints that slightly more worked, but the wacom devices still didn’t work. tried an x11 conf.d file with the right udev id:id but no go Some suggested modprobe-r or rmmod-ing, but this did nothing for me at this point. Finally, I tried blacklisting wacom, cold-rebooting (beyond a restart), logging into x11. Now two extra entries appeared in xsetwacom: ``` |Wacom Co.,Ltd. Pen and multitouch sensor Touchscreen pad|id: 9|type: PAD | |---|---|---| |Wacom Co.,Ltd. Pen and multitouch sensor touch|id: 10|type: TOUCH | |Wacom Co.,Ltd. Pen and multitouch sensor stylus|id: 12|type: STYLUS | |Wacom Co.,Ltd. Pen and multitouch sensor pad|id: 18|type: PAD | |Wacom Co.,Ltd. Pen and multitouch sensor eraser|id: 19|type: ERASER | ``` then, incredibly, sudo modprobe wacom (even though the modprobe is blacklisted) worked. yay! one last catch, the touchscreen stops working on suspend. It keeps working if the wacom is unloaded before suspending and then modprobe wacom after. Adding /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/touchscreen.sh ``` #!/bin/bash case "$1" in pre) # executed on suspend rmmod wacom sleep 1 ;; post) sleep 1 modprobe wacom # executed on resume ;; *) ;; esac ``` fixed it right up finally, needed to set gesture off to get the clean one-finger scroll I’m familiar with. sudo xsetwacom --set ‘Wacom Pen and multitouch sensor Finger touch’ gesture off Enabled “always show the accessiblity menu”, and also installed [https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3222/block-caribou-36/](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3222/block-caribou-36/) so that the on-screen keyboard wouldn’t keep popping up when using the physical keyboard + touchscreen. Finally, to load the module on start, added the following to /etc/systemd/system/touchscreen.service ``` [Unit] Description=Touchscreen Wants=netwo.target After=syslog.target network-online.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "sleep 4 && modprobe wacom" [Install] WantedBy=default.target ``` and then sudo systemctl enable touchscreen. ---
