Bug Description
Ubuntu 17.10 | xserver-
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with a SMART Board 6000 (an interactive whiteboard) in school.
The touch-screen of the board works fine. Unfortunately there are a lot of problems with the pen:
- The pen isn't recognized as a device on Wayland. You can't either use it as a touch-device or write with it.
- The same problem occurs when xserver-
After I replaced libinput with the old xserver-
xinput [libinput installed]:

⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SMART Technologies SMART IFP id=9 [slave pointer (2)]

probably needs some fix in udev/systemd, but you might first report it to libinput upstream on bugs.freedeskto p.org
