Active pen spectre x360 doesn't rotate

[Clockris]

Hi,

the program work fine when I use my finger on my hp spectre x360, but for some wired reason if I use the active pen it works as the screen never rotate.

For example, if I rotate the computer of 180 degree if I write from left to right the active pen write form right to left.

Is it a known bug? How can I solve it?

Hi, at a guess, the pen is a different input device, so it must be translated as well. Could you please run xinput --list, identify your input device, and then run xinput --list-props device? Cheers

Hi, thanks for your answer.

With xinput --list I obtain:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN2514:00 04F3:2593 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=17 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wide Vision FHD Camera: HP W id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wide Vision FHD Camera: HP I id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ELAN2514:00 04F3:2593 Pen id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]

while the output of xinput --list-props 12 is:

Device 'ELAN2514:00 04F3:2593 Pen': Device Enabled (140): 1 Coordinate Transformation Matrix (142): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 Device Node (265): "/dev/input/event12" Device Product ID (266): 1267, 9619

Cool, so it has the Coordinate Transformation Matrix property.

Until now my approach was to filter all the input devices of type touchscreen, but I think this can be easily solved by just filtering all the input devices with Coordinate Transformation Matrix property, and apply the rotation matrix to all of them.

I should be able to put a fix soon

Thanks! Let me know and I will be your first tester!

Same with the Active Pen on the Dell Inspiron 5579.

Hi, sorry about the delay. Could you test the resolution, and reopen the issue if necessary?

@GuLinux Just tested the latest version, fixed the issue with my Inspiron. Thanks!
