Description John Hartley 2020-02-12 20:25:42 UTC
BUG:

The QEMU EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet is not one of devices that is captured and available  via /dev/input/event*

The impact of this is that you cannot get X11 evadev pointer device support to work with FreeBSD 12.1 running on QEMU / KVM / Q35 .

TESTING:

Running FreeBSD 12.1 on:
QEMU / KVM / OVMF / Q35 VM with EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet connected.


Boot shows that devices is connected:

So QEMU USB Tablet is found and connected to device /dev/uhid0

However it does not appear in set of evdev captured devices

NOTE: Kernel build with netmap disabled kernel due to this bug:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241774) 


EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:

QEMU USB Tablet should also be one of devices captured with input data available via /dev/input/event* device

Please let me know if you need additional testing to help with diagnosis.

I am reporting this as effecting many people as flow through to lack of EvTouch USB support much discussed issues when doing web search. This bug reports potential root cause fix.
Comment 1 Vladimir Kondratyev freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-02-16 00:54:11 UTC
uhid(4) does not support evdev now

Try misc/utouch-kmod driver from the ports tree

Hi Vladimir,

thank you very much for response.

So I am now getting Absolute X/Y (which is what I want) but when I do startx the mouse is not working correctly.

NOTE: I have following enabled via /etc/rc.conf:

dbus_enable="YES"

All other mouse/pointer related items are commented out (ie disabled):

#moused_enable="YES"
#hald_enable="YES"

The xinput indicates that the evdev driver has not loaded and Xorg is defaulting to mouse_drv:

<<XINPUT>>
# cat xinput-01.txt 
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]

⎜   ↳ sysmouse                                	id=7	[slave  pointer  (2)]

<<END XINPUT>>

So issue is now how to get evdev input device connected to xorg...

can you provide any tip / link on this ?

Thank you.

Please, upgrade Xorg-server port to at least r526589. It enables autodetection of evdev devices by default.

Thanks again Vladimir, I did some additional manual configuration and now working.
I have documented my configuration here to help others....

Hi Vladimir,

I have not touch this for a while, as I have spent considerable time on next FreeBSD hurdle, which is to get: bhyve / qemu / libvirt / virt-manager running with FreeBSD Gnome Desktop.

I have now got bhyve running, but in doing update to 12.1 and installed packages, I am having EvTouch Tablet issues again.

I have removed all my prior configuration and am relying auto detection as per your original suggestion.

I have KVM / QEMU FreeBSD VM with USB Keyboard and EvTouch USB Tablet.

I now get the follow error when I do mouse click, from lib input:

Is this because libinput has broken the utouch interface ?

Comment 6 John Hartley 2020-05-10 13:16:05 UTC
Hi Vladamir,

I did some extra ferreting around and found cause of problem.

When I did update on installed 12.1 pkg I pull in new version of xorg which has moved to udev based device discovery and defaults to using libinput for all found devices (as per log I submitted)

To get KVM EvTouch I need to ensure I am using evdev driver as that is that your utouch fix hooks into.

So to fix issue I just added overriding configuration to into: /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
 
<<UTOUCH OVERRIDE>>
$ cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-qemu-input.conf 
#
# Overide libinput
#
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"

So now have FreeBSD Desktop back and up running and with much much simpler overall configuration.

> Is this because libinput has broken the utouch interface

That is strange AFAIR libinput handles utouch devices. Or at least handled sometime ago. I'll try to reproduce it with virtualbox USB tablet when get some spare cycles.
May be it is udev shim who does something wrongly.

devel/libudev-devd.patch

It is appeared as libudev shim issue.

Device type auto-detection code based on xf86-input-evdev claimed pointer device as touchscreen (absolute VM mouses behave like touchscreens really) while libinput expected it to be a mouse.

If you are familiar with FreeBSD ports system, you can rebuild devel/libudev-devd port after applying of enclosed patch and test libinput with utouch once again.

Thanks Vladimir,

glad you found issue and have a fix.

I am ok with simple config change for time being, but having fix will make sure it all works better in future for others, which is what we need.

Cheers,


John Hartley.
