linux-surface VS iptsd

Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.

I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.

I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.

So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.

```

while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,move $INPUT;

There's support for Linux on the Surface range:

But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.

If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

Should have you covered.

I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.

I know about https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I'm looking for practical feedback from people who did the operation in order to orient my choice.

I tried calibrating iptsd driver with the help of this tutorial but it only made things worse, so I reverted the settings back. I also tried some settings listed in the GitHub issue linked above without better results so I just reverted everything back to the latest version of the iptsd.conf file available on GitHub.

Could you please try installing the newest build of iptsd? You can download it from https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/actions/runs/4838146385

Probably yes, (I use manjaro, but it's all Linux so) you have installed iptsd? https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd

I am using Fedora 37 with Wayland on a Surfacebook 2. I searched github and the internet and all I found was this issue: https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/issues/69 However, the suggested solution is to switch from Xorg to Wayland, but I already used Wayland all the time. Does anyone else have the same issue? How can I solve it, or is it a problem with the driver's newest version?

the reason i want hidrd is because it is required to build iptsd for touch screen and stylus support for surface devices

I managed to install the linux-surface kernel and i went to the feature matrix to see that there is experimental support for multitouch and pen. When i tried to follow the guide linux-surface/ iptsd i got stuck at

Thank you again! So i tried some of the settings i thought might be related to the issue, found at https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/blob/master/etc/ipts.conf

I'm literally done trying to fix the touch issues on my SP4, installed Fedora workstation with linux kernel and updated all the windows firmware drivers and still the touchscreen sucks. I keep getting sh1t loads of ghost touches its pretty much unusable. Tried different versions of everything fedora,gnome,iptsd,libwacom, reset sensor bs and heck i have another SP4 laying around that i was gonna flip and had the exact same issue. I hate how its literally said in the github that the touch is supported on SP4 but its not.. and i'm not the only one cuz a lot of people with SP4 are having the same issue and the devs keep ignoring the issues. Either fix your crap or add in the page that the SP4 touch is ass and stop wasting people time. Here some other people with same issue: https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/issues/58 https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/issues/40 https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/issues/26

Issue open in Github: https://github.com/linux-surface/iptsd/issues/57
