[SP9} NOT using iptsd results in better touch, gnome 48

Open gtxg16 opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

after installing linux-surface, disabling iptsd with sudo systemctl stop 'iptsd@*.service' ends up handing over touch events to something else (idk what) and it handles touch better than iptsd. as in i can drag windows and highlight text easier.

is this normal? should there be an option to disable iptsd or what

I can confirm that I've got exactly the same behavior on Surface Pro 6 running Fedora 42 with Gnome 48. Disabling iptsd service is causing touch to work noticeably better while performing any kind of swipes, such as dragging windows or scrolling.

Confirmed on Surface Pro 7+ but no IPTSD seems to break touch support
