Each device shows available configurations +the respective default configuration setting. +.PP +For configuration options that allow multiple different settings (e.g. +scrolling), all available settings are listed. The default setting is +prefixed by an asterisk (*). +.PP +This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the +/dev/input/eventX nodes. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 8 +.B --help +Print help +.SH NOTES +.PP +Some specific feature may still be available on a device even when +no configuration is exposed, a lack of a configuration option does not +necessarily mean that this feature does not work. +.PP +A device may be recognized by libinput but not handled by the X.Org libinput +driver or the Wayland compositor. +.PP +An xorg.conf(5) configuration entry or Wayland compositor setting may have +changed configurations on a device. The +.I libinput-list-devices +tool only shows the device's default configuration, not the current +configuration. |
