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
::
missing tablet capabilities: xy pen btn-stylus resolution. Ignoring this device.
or in older versions of libinput simply:
::
libinput bug: device does not meet tablet criteria. Ignoring this device.
When a tablet is rejected, it is usually possible to verify the issue with
the ``libinput record`` 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.
A bug should be filed against `systemd <http://github.com/systemd/systemd>`__.
- **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 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
<https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/hwdb.d/60-evdev.hwdb>`__ file
on your machine and file a pull request with the fixes against
`systemd <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/>`__.
