Touchscreen input doesn't rotate with the screen

[Alexandre Jasmin]

When a touch screen is rotated, touch input is not mapped correctly.

I'm testing 19.04 on an Acer-One S1003 where the default orientation is portrait.

Ubuntu 19.04 support automatic screen rotation out of the box. But, when the tablet is in landscape, the touchscreen doesn't behave correctly. Moving a finger horizontally cause a vertical movement and vice versa.

The same happens in both X11 and Wayland.

I don't know whether this touch input issue should be marked as a duplicate of Bug #1822513 as I was experiencing before the "part of the screen is black" problem appeared.

[Alexandre Jasmin (alexandre-jasmin)]

I have the same touchscreen rotation problem in a Wayland session.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue looks similar to bug #1821933

[Alexandre Jasmin (alexandre-jasmin)]

I have 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1 which is supposed to fix bug #1821933.

But I still have this rotation bug.

I'm using a vanilla ubuntu:GNOME session.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

if touchscreen rotation used to work, it is probably this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/581

it needs the mentioned patch on top of mutter 3.32.1.

You can verify with a Ubuntu 18.10 live-usb, whether touchscreen rotation works there.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could those having the issue give the output of that command?

$ sudo libinput list-devices:

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

here you go - its the "Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen"

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

I also uploaded a modified mutter package in the GNOME bug report which do fix the issue for me

[Alexandre Jasmin (alexandre-jasmin)]

rojtberg's build of the gnome patch fixed it for me too.

Here's my libinput list-devices with also happens to have a Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen

Lenovo MIIX 310-10ICR here also with a Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen. This bug exists here as well. Used to work fine on Ubuntu 18.10

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The commit is in 3.32.2, needs to be SRUed to disco

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It's true that commit f9d6627fe03f68a132501a488f73e08080018115 is released in mutter version 3.32.2 already. Which is also fix released in eoan already.

I'm on mutter 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 and the bug is there. However, it does work sometimes, but really extremely rarely. I can't figure out what triggers the correct behavior.

Lubuntu 20.10 64bit
