==============================================================================
Device quirks
==============================================================================
libinput requires extra information from devices that is not always readily
available. For example, some touchpads are known to have jumping cursors
under specific conditions. libinput ships a set of files containting the
so-called model quirks to provide that information. Model quirks are usually
installed under ``/usr/share/libinput/<filename>.quirks`` and are standard
``.ini`` files. A file may contain multiple section headers (``[some
identifier]``) followed by one or more ``MatchFoo=Bar`` directives, followed by
at least one of ``ModelFoo=1`` or ``AttrFoo=bar`` directive. See the
``quirks/README.md`` file in the libinput source repository for more details on
their contents.
.. warning:: Model quirks are internal API and may change at any time. No
backwards-compatibility is guaranteed.
For example, a quirks file may have this content to label all keyboards on
the serial bus (PS/2) as internal keyboards: ::
[Serial Keyboards]
MatchUdevType=keyboard
MatchBus=serial
AttrKeyboardIntegration=internal
The model quirks are part of the source distribution and should never be
modified locally. Updates to libinput may overwrite modifications or even
stop parsing any property. For temporary local workarounds, see
:ref:`device-quirks-local`.
Device quirks are parsed on libinput initialization. A parsing error in the
device quirks disables **all** device quirks and may negatively impact
device behavior on the host. If the quirks cannot be loaded, an error
message is posted to the log and users should use the information in
:ref:`device-quirks-debugging` to verify their quirks files.
.. _device-quirks-local:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing temporary local device quirks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The model quirks are part of the source distribution and should never be
modified. For temporary local workarounds, libinput reads the
``/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`` file. Users may add a sections to
this file to add a device quirk for a local device but beware that **any
modification must be upstreamed** or it may cease to work at any time.
.. warning:: Model quirks are internal API and may change at any time. No
backwards-compatibility is guaranteed. Local overrides should only
be used until the distribution updates the libinput packages.
The ``local-overrides.quirks`` file usually needs to be created by the user.
Once the required section has been added, use the information from section
:ref:`device-quirks-debugging` to validate and test the quirks.
.. _device-quirks-debugging:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debugging device quirks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libinput provides the ``libinput quirks`` tool to debug the quirks database.
This tool takes an action as first argument, the most common invocation is
``libinput quirks list`` to list model quirks that apply to one or more local
devices. ::
$ libinput quirks list /dev/input/event19
$ libinput quirks list /dev/input/event0
AttrLidSwitchReliability=reliable
The device `event19` does not have any quirks assigned.
When called with the ``--verbose`` argument, ``libinput quirks list`` prints
information about all files and its attempts to match the device: ::
$ libinput quirks list --verbose /dev/input/event0
quirks debug: /usr/share/share/libinput is data root

Note that this is an example only, the output may change over time. The tool
uses the same parser as libinput and any parsing errors will show up in the
output.
.. _device-quirks-list:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List of supported device quirks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This list is a guide for developers to ease the process of submitting
patches upstream. This section shows device quirks supported in
|git_version|.
.. warning:: Quirks are internal API and may change at any time for any reason.
No guarantee is given that any quirk below works on your version of
libinput.
In the documentation below, the letters N, M, O, P refer to arbitrary integer
values.
Quirks starting with **Model*** triggers implementation-defined behaviour
for this device not needed for any other device. Only the more
general-purpose **Model*** flags are listed here.
ModelALPSTouchpad, ModelAppleTouchpad, ModelWacomTouchpad, ModelChromebook
Reserved for touchpads made by the respective vendors
ModelTabletNoTilt
Indicates that the tablet stylus does not provide tilt axis
information, even if the kernel exposes that axis.
ModelTabletNoProximityOut
Indicates that the tablet stylus does not send correct proximity out
events.
ModelTouchpadVisibleMarker
Indicates the touchpad has a drawn-on visible marker between the software
buttons.
ModelTabletModeNoSuspend
Indicates that the device does not need to be
suspended in :ref:`switches_tablet_mode`.
ModelTrackball
Reserved for trackballs
ModelBouncingKeys
Indicates that the device may send fake bouncing key events and
timestamps can not be relied upon.
ModelSynapticsSerialTouchpad
Reserved for touchpads made by Synaptics on the serial bus
AttrSizeHint=NxM, AttrResolutionHint=N
Hints at the width x height of the device in mm, or the resolution
of the x/y axis in units/mm. These may only be used where they apply to
a large proportion of matching devices. They should not be used for any
specific device, override ``EVDEV_ABS_*`` instead, see
:ref:`absolute_coordinate_ranges_fix`.
AttrTouchSizeRange=N:M, AttrPalmSizeThreshold=O
Specifies the touch size required to trigger a press (N) and to trigger
a release (M). O > N > M. See :ref:`touchpad_touch_size_hwdb` for more
details.
AttrTouchPressureRange=N:M, AttrPalmPressureThreshold=O, AttrThumbPressureThreshold=P
Specifies the touch pressure required to trigger a press (N) and to
trigger a release (M), when a palm touch is triggered (O) and when a
thumb touch is triggered (P). O > P > N > M. See
:ref:`touchpad_pressure_hwdb` for more details.
AttrLidSwitchReliability=reliable|write_open
Indicates the reliability of the lid switch. This is a string enum. Do not
use "reliable" for any specific device. Very few devices need this, if in
doubt do not set. See :ref:`switches_lid` for details.
AttrKeyboardIntegration=internal|external
Indicates the integration of the keyboard. This is a string enum.
Generally only needed for USB keyboards.
AttrTPKComboLayout=below
Indicates the position of the touchpad on an external touchpad+keyboard
combination device. This is a string enum. Don't specify it unless the
touchpad is below.
