when i tried wayland briefly sway seemed like an okay i3 replacement (or at least a start at one). but then i ran up against the wall of libinput not supporting remapping multi-finger tap inputs to specific click types because the maintainer didn't seem to comprehend that not everyone has the same touchpad they do and that this functionality was, as such, not important and too hard to implement.

florida lan posted:when i tried wayland briefly sway seemed like an okay i3 replacement (or at least a start at one). that's a problem with the device db, not libinput. your touchpad needs to be added to the device db with the correct tags and then this functionality will be mapped correctly. if it were the other way around and libinput threw 50 different touch pad settings in your face and told you to tune things up so that they matched your particular touch pad then you'd be complaining about how unpolished it is.

sapozhnik beat me to it hutterer even saw how cumbersome hwdb through udev was, so libinput has added support for definining rules through ini-files: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/commit/5792af9a5f4ae0bc11cd6d070ed643896c157f19

I'm using sway/Wayland on a boring old desktop with keyboard, mouse, single monitor, wired ethernet, and a fixed set of peripherals (and nothing fancy at that). I think it would require a lot more janitoring if I ran it on a laptop, or cared much about plugging in portable media.

Tankakern posted:/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks great thanks! something to mess around with on a rainy Sunday afternoon also trip report on swapping out x11+i3 with wayland+sway again: everything's the same so far, things feel subjectively faster on this 6yo laptop but I haven't measured. the one objective change is the catastrophic tearing on Netflix video in Firefox has completely gone away

ended up with this quirks equivalent in about 10 minutes or so:code:
i'm still a bit about basing touchpad detection off of the laptop model but i imagine thats the best of several bad options, given pc hardware manufacturers etc

what? lol. hurd is kind of the thing i remember exists every few years, like a deadbeat loser uncle. as a layman when it comes to developing software, let alone building an os, that release log thingy is like hearing about how he filled out the form to register to take his ged test to get his life on track(at age 45), but is currently scrounging for change to catch a bus to get a postage stamp to send it out.

Progressive JPEG posted:ended up with this quirks equivalent in about 10 minutes or so: the synaptics drivers for linux are really very, very good, but figuring out precisely what kind of device you are talking to in order to configure the driver is a challenge so the choices are either set up the touchpad to have the responsiveness of a 1970s resistive device using fallback settings, or have horrible quirks files detecting model strings. i prefer the latter (if you really want to know horror, look into how intel ac97 devices are configured. basically every laptop has different pinouts)

el dorito posted:on a throwaway virtual machine I tried doing just that. I had to go and pick "other, other" on Parallels which knows multiple different versions of DOS, OS/2 and Solaris. I could not get it installing the network adapter even after downgrading to a Realtek adapter, the network adaptor supported by multiple toasters and gardening equipment, I'm sure. The installer looks like Linux ca 1995 but with more visual errors. After installation, it informed me to install Grub on /dev/sda, but – psych – it is really /dev/hd0. BTW, now the installer is hosed, so please try again from scratch. Now, I'm going thru the installation process from scratch. What are the odds I get sound on this thing?

nbsd: the synaptics driver is a trainweck and has been deprecated for years. hutterer was the last maintainer, and he wont touch it with a ten feet pole this is like when you talk about amd graphics and mention issues with fglrx, you're living 10 years in the past Tankakern fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jul 7, 2019 |

Got it No network because Realtek doesn't even sound like a real piece of networking equipment. If I click on the globe-ting or web-browser in the menu, I get a terminal. This is pretty much the full installation of Debian GNU/Hurd (for Enterprise). Sound is not working.
