Thats working for me. Thanks! I did use the above config but without the "device" and "device-type" field. The error message I saw during system boot was=20 "InputAttach: Cannot set device type". So I am thinking the service did actually detect the touchscreen of my x200-t, but could not set the device-type?? But for sure I will try using your config as it is and let you know =E2=98= =BA > If this does not fix the problem for you, than your touchscreen is > probably connected to another serial port: >=20 > - Use a tool of your choice to read the current text from one of the > serial ports ("/dev/ttySxxx" where xxx is any number). > - Point on your display with your pen.

Are you suggesting hardware tools or software tools? If it is the latter, can you please mention an easiest tool name and the syntax for checking for serial ports? > Please note that this is a pretty adhoc approach that I added to Guix > so > that it works for my setup, hoping that it could help others.

Btw, could you expand/update the "inputattach-service-typ= e" of the Guix Manual, to include "inputattach-configuration" scheme parameters/procedures and it's possible cum default values? Thanks!
