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

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