Description

When trying to use OpenTabletDriver on some xwayland applications, the cursor position does not get updated. Happens with and without legacy renderer enabled. Does not happen in 0.36.0-r2.
This seems to happen in games which use their own cursor rather than your system cursor, but I can't be 100% sure. This doesn't happen in gimp, which also runs in xwayland.
I've only tested different versions of the same game.
The games I tested were:
osu!stable
osu!lazer
Mcosu
All have the same issue where the cursor position stops being updated once I focus the window, while the tablet's inputs can still be detected.

How to reproduce

Install OpenTabletDriver-6.4.0:
https://wiki.hyprland.org/FAQ/#my-tablet-no-worky
Use Absolute or Artist mode (have not tested relative mode)
Open osu!stable, osu!lazer or Mcosu (only games I've confirmed had the issue.)
Try to move your cursor with your tablet. Cursor will not move, but inputs can still be detected.

@qwertyuiopr I tried the osu!laser downloaded from their webpage, and on both git version and version with fixes for #3004 and it works for me. I can normally move the mouse and click with tablet's pen. If game runs using gamescope everything works as intended I think. I ran the game with otd-daemon running. In otd-gui I have enabled Absolute Mode and my Pen Settings are as follows:

osu!lazer has their own opentabletdriver implementation enabled by default which is likely why it worked fine for you. these ingame drivers don't have any smoothing settings though, which is why i'd prefer to use the normal opentabletdriver.

on the actual issue, osu!lazer and mcosu both work fine until i try to play a map, at which point the cursor stops responding. on osu!stable (through wine, might be important) the cursor just doesn't work at all. gamescope mileage varies. osu!stable's cursor still does not work, osu!lazer makes it work fine (unless i toggle the ingame tablet driver on then off for some reason) and mcosu's cursor stops working

kotbaton · 2024-03-19T20:58:47Z

I will try to tinker with it later, I will download osu!stable through wine, and let you know if I will able to reproduce the issue. I just wondering if you will have different experience if you will use proton directly or add executable to steam as a non-steam game and run it using proton via steam.

should probably be noted i used a repo called 'osu-winello' to make the process much easier, not sure if i'm allowed to link the repo

I installed osu!stable with osu-winello script as you told and as far as I can see I can normally move cursor using tablet's pen in game menu and in the game (I tried to play tutorial and it worked). I used the same otd configuration as showed previously and I have no other tablet drivers enabled (no wacom module etc).

qwertyuiopr · 2024-03-20T18:55:50Z

using latest git, cursor still does not work properly for me. are you playing with the window in fullscreen or tiled?
i did a bit of testing, and it seems that tiled works okay. however, because the game is now tiled rather than in fullscreen, it does not allow me to use frame tearing which is helpful for getting much lower end-to-end latency

here's the version compiled

I tried in in the fullscreen, so not sure what can cause the issue for you. I can make more tests but not sure what I should look for if it works for me.

qwertyuiopr · 2024-03-20T23:14:25Z

i'm not sure what could cause it either. i just tried with sway with --unsupported-gpu (nvidia proprietary drivers, sadge) and my tablet worked perfectly fine with artist mode + mouse bindings, along with the graphical issues that come with using sway on nvidia blob drivers.
p.s. what opentabletdriver version are you running?

kotbaton · 2024-03-21T08:09:21Z

$ otd-daemon --version
0.6.4.0

I am on intel graphics but I have no idea how it can influence tablet actually. However if I understand correctly, everything worked as intended under Hyprland 0.36.0-r2? I think it is possible to check the changes in later versions, so maybe if you can figure it out what commit/changes cause the problem it would be easier to fix it for developers.

qwertyuiopr · 2024-03-21T19:06:33Z

i'm not 100% sure how useful this is going to be, but maybe it'll give some pointers

diff ~/gitclones/Hyprland-36/Hyprland-0.36.0/src/managers/input/Tablets.cpp ~/gitclones/Hyprland/src/managers/input/Tablets.cpp
36_diff.txt

i'm going to try installing v0.36.0 from source rather than from my repos.

edit: i've just tested it, installing 0.36.0 using the source code in releases makes the cursor work fine again.

qwertyuiopr · 2024-03-22T00:15:33Z

still looking for solutions.

kotbaton · 2024-03-22T17:03:36Z

So I checked the differences you linked and it seems that those differences are from commit that fixes #3004 and they shouldn't break anything.

I saw however that after 0.36.0 hyprcursor was added and something was changed with configuration, so @qwertyuiopr I started to wonder maybe something in your configuration cause the problem? Can you check it with default config?

I also checked the changes between v0.36.0 and v0.37.0 and it seems that for Tablets.cpp the only changes is:

@@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ void CInputManager::focusTablet(STablet* pTab, wlr_tablet_tool* pTool, bool moti
         }
 
         if (motion) {
-            auto local = CURSORPOS - PWINDOW->m_vRealPosition.goalv();
+            auto local = CURSORPOS - PWINDOW->m_vRealPosition.goal();
 
             if (PWINDOW->m_bIsX11)
                 local = local * PWINDOW->m_fX11SurfaceScaledBy;

But I have no experience with wayland compositors or Hyprland developing so maybe @vaxerski or other maintainer will be able to help here.

qwertyuiopr · 2024-03-22T17:29:00Z

i have tested with the default autogenerated config, the same issue still occurs unfortunately

update: using latest git commit, the problem seems to be going away a little. the pen works fine when i first focus into osu, but once i start tapping my pen there's a chance that the cursor will stop updating its position in osu.

Unfortunately I can't help much here cause I'm not hyprland or even C++ developer. And I have no ideas what can be wrong here because despite we are having very similar configuration (even the same tablet?) it works for me and don't work for you so :\

M4rti21 · 2024-03-31T21:17:17Z

im having the same problem.
i got it working sometimes by spamming between fullscreen, changing resolutions, tiling and untiling the window, and at some point the cursor would work just fine...
dont know if that helps at all

yea but that bisect is clearly wrong

rrex971 · 2024-04-17T18:20:44Z

i had done a git bisect myself and i think i may have found the relevant commit that may have caused the issue
also just noticed that this is the same bisect result @qwertyuiopr had attached in their prior replies so this further affirms that the bisect is correct.

update: can confirm that the latest release 0.40.0 fixed this issue completely. i assume the other changes related to pointer constraints consequently fixed this issue as well. in any case the days of my tablet and osu woes are over, thank you vaxry!

Tablet support has changed drastically since #5902. Please report back if you have tested latest git.

M4rti21 · 2024-05-12T09:16:08Z

just changed to latest git, same error with OpenTabletDriver,
im unable to use hyprlands tablet config, either im not understanding the configuration on the wiki or its not working as intended.
my config:

input {
    tablet {
        transform = 0
        output = DP-1
        region_position = 1080, 420 # <-- based on my screen position at: "monitor = DP-1,     1920x1080@390, 1080x420, 1"
        region_size = 1920, 1080
        active_area_size = 216, 121.5
        active_area_position = 108, 60.75
        relative_input = false
        left_handed = false
    }

}

the tablet just doesnt move the cursor nor registers clicks...

Agent00Ming · 2024-05-12T09:45:18Z

What if you commented out the mapping related lines and map your tablet to the virtual display in OTD? That's an issue being tracked in #6023. Current Hyprland tablet behaviour is to auto-map to focused monitor with absolute coordinates but the output = DP-1 works for selecting a monitor instead of the focused one.

vaxerski · 2024-05-12T15:05:07Z

region_position = 1080, 420 # <-- based on my screen position at: "monitor = DP-1, 1920x1080@390, 1080x420, 1"

it should be 0,0...
