Input Attach Service

Input Attach Service

[Raghav Gururajan]

Hello Guix!

Based on this (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Miscellaneous-Services.html#Miscellaneous-Services), I have included "input-attach-service-type" (with default config, that is, values left blank) to my system services in the system config. But still my stylus input is not detected.

My device is RYF-Certified TET-X200T (https://tehnoetic.com/tet-x200t).

When I checked "herd status" as root, the inputattach service was not running. Also, during the system boot, I noticed an output line "inputattach: can't set device type".

What should I do to overcome this issue?

NOTE TO MARK H.W: Sorry that I couldn't catch up with our previous discussion regarding stylus input. It appears this new service type could be a good fix.

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.

This is probably just a typo in your e-mail, but the service is 
name inputattach-service-type (no third hyphen).

I don't own an X200T, and I don't know which guide your following, 
but a random search led me here[0].  They use ‘--w8001’ while our 
service defaults to ‘--wacom’.

Does passing ‘(type "w8001")’ to inputattach-configuration change 
a thing?

Kind regards,

Yes, it was a typo. :)

I tried it. But didn't work. Now the error output line during boot " inputattach: invalid type "--w8001"".

Our inputattach says…

  --wacom          -wacom    Wacom W8001

…so I guess it was just renamed since that wiki article was 
written.

Then I'm all out of ideas, sorry.

That's okay. Let us see if others or maintainer of "inputattach-service-type" has any ideas. :)
