NAME

6       libinput-list-devices - list local devices as recognized by libinput
7

SYNOPSIS

9       libinput list-devices [--help]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  libinput  list-devices  tool  creates  a  libinput  context on the
13       default seat "seat0" and lists all devices recognized by libinput. Each
14       device shows available configurations the respective default configura‐
15       tion setting.
16
17       For configuration options that allow multiple different settings  (e.g.
18       scrolling),  all  available settings are listed. The default setting is
19       prefixed by an asterisk (*).
20
21       This tool usually needs to be  run  as  root  to  have  access  to  the
22       /dev/input/eventX nodes.

NOTES

28       Some  specific  feature may still be available on a device even when no
29       configuration is exposed, a lack of a  configuration  option  does  not
30       necessarily mean that this feature does not work.
31
32       A  device  may  be  recognized by libinput but not handled by the X.Org
33       libinput driver or the Wayland compositor.
34
35       An xorg.conf(5) configuration entry or Wayland compositor  setting  may
36       have changed configurations on a device. The libinput list-devices tool
37       only shows the device's default configuration, not the current configu‐
38       ration.
