Sway: Unable to configure Macbook Pro Trackpad

Created on 25 Jan 2017 · 9Comments · Source: swaywm/sway

Hello,

I'm trying to configure my 2009 Macbook Pro trackpad to work with Sway under Arch Linux, using this issue as guidance.

With swaymsg -t get_inputs, I see:

 "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_\/_Trac"

For comparison, with sudo libinput-list-devices, I see:

Device:           Apple Inc. Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad

In my sway config, I have:

input "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac" {
    tap enabled
    natural_scroll enabled
}

but it doesn't seem to be working -- scroll direction is still not "natural," tap-to-click doesn't work.

Thinking that perhaps the truncated name were a problem, I have tried all of the following with no luck (killing sway and restarting in between each):

 "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac" {
 "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_\/_Trac" {
 "identifier": 1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac {
 "identifier": 1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_\/_Trac {
 "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_\/_Trackpad" {
 "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trackpad" {
 "identifier": 1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trackpad {
 "identifier": 1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_\/_Trackpad {

What am I doing wrong?

Figured it out, it was a sway config issue (my fault). For future Googlers:

Looking at the capabilities listed under sudo libinput-list-devices, it showed that the device I was trying to use above doesn't have Tap-to-click or Nat.scrolling, which surprised me. Looking below that, it showed a device named bcm5974 that did have those capabilities. I googled and ends up that's the touchpad driver. I changed my config to use input "1452:566:bcm" (as reported by swaymsg -t get_inputs) and it worked instantly.

Also, I've reproduced the ...skipping... issue -- it's from scrolling while highlighting in less. Sorry about that.

Can you produce a debug log?

Wow, that was fast.

Is there a better way than sway --verbose --debug &> sway_debug.log?

Looks like the relevant portions:

^^ As you can see, the above was with the config including the escape character \, and the full word Trackpad, but it behaves identically without the escape (I understand I am not supposed to include the \), and identically using Trac instead of Trackpad (as per swaymsg output).

n8henrie on 25 Jan 2017

Use "identifier": "1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac" { and provide a full debug log, please.

Sounds good. Sorry, having a hard time figuring out how to pipe output to the clipboard (in order to paste to browser). Coming from OSX would be pbcopy <myfile.log. GitHub won't let me upload the file either (We don’t support that file type. with both .log and .txt extension.)

Also, as per above is sway --verbose --debug &> out.log basically the format you were expecting?

Quit doctoring it and just upload the entire log to a pastebin somewhere like gist.github.com. And your sway config. Also, you're a version behind.

ddevault on 26 Jan 2017

Sorry, I didn't do any "doctoring" intentionally -- opened the log file in one window in less, highlighted, copied, and pasted directly into the comment box.

https://gist.github.com/n8henrie/10e3232cc31373ce75cd046bb8ebab8d

Again, I'll assume sway --verbose --debug &> out.log is a reasonable way to get the information you're asking for unless you tell me otherwise (I don't see any mention of another log file, a flag or envvar for another debug output location). Thanks for your time.

"...skipping..."

Said doctoring isn't present in the new gist, which is indeed a complete log, so I can identify the issue. The important part appears to be here:

01/25/17 21:53:33 - [handlers.c:131] Found input device (1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac)
01/25/17 21:53:33 - [handlers.c:141] Matched input config for 1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac
01/25/17 21:53:33 - [config.c:969] apply_input_config(1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac)
01/25/17 21:53:33 - [config.c:996] apply_input_config(1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac) natural_scroll_set_enabled(1)
01/25/17 21:53:33 - [config.c:1012] apply_input_config(1452:566:Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard_/_Trac) tap_set_enabled(1)

It seems that the device is correctly identified, your config is matched, and your options applied. This indicates that the problem is in libinput, not in sway - your options are being faithfully passed to libinput by sway. Report to them for assistance. Good luck!

Figured it out, it was a sway config issue (my fault). For future Googlers:

Also, I've reproduced the ...skipping... issue -- it's from scrolling while highlighting in less. Sorry about that.

Glad you got it working. You can use xclip in the future, by the way, it works fine for the Xwayland clipboard.
