From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Solved] Thinkpad X200 Tablet stylus brokie on Void Linux (lemmy.world)

Edit: Solved according to this: reddit Obviously Void has no systemd service but I just created a script service containing a single line isdv4-serial-inputattach /dev/ttyS0 --baudrate 19200. The serial communication often crashes but runit automatically restarts it so that's fine. Also 6.6 kernel is kinda buggy but 6.10(custom compiled) and 6.1(from void's repo) work fine. Yeah and don't forget to enable the ttySx service otherwise it cannot work.

I cannot get sway to detect my tablet device on Void Linux installed on a Thinkpad X200 Tablet. Anyone knows how to fix it? I have both libwacom and xf86-input-wacom installed. It worked fine on Debian.

Now when I think about it, I don't have libwacom-32bit installed, because I'm using musl library which is 64bit only. That might be the issue considering how old my hardware is. I'm going to try to investigate but I'm going post this here anyways in case anybody knows more than me.

I think your kernel version is probably going to more the culprit here. What are you on now?

6.6.25_1

Though I've just tried 6.1.83_1 and it didn't help. Don't know whether there is a big difference between 6.1.0 and 6.1.83. I guess I'll have to try the glibc version.

Check dmesg then, and look for any errors related to the device not being loaded. Good luck.

Thanks for your tips but I did not find anything. (probably skill issue) I tried different distros and it's weird. Arch (endeavorOS live iso) does not work, debian does but antix does not, fedora works. So I'm going back to debian. Thank you either way.
