Looking into this software for someone who has very limited hand control and is currently unable to continue their career as an artist.

This is the log output:

talon eye tracking is based on tobii eye tracker hardware. i see no indication in the log that one is detected, however. also, wayland is not supported by talon and i'm not sure if talon can move the mouse cursor on wayland or not.

Thanks for the information, I thought it might use a webcam (I use a laptop with one built in).

For Ubuntu users, Wayland is the default install. Gnome intends to drop X11 support.

If Talon intends to continue with Linux support, it needs to support Wayland.

wayland support has been a topic of discussion already many times. you can look at and follow this issue to see what's missing from wayland: https://gitlab.com/fedora/dei/a11y/-/issues/10
