Fedora 41 Gnome workstation Bosto touchpad 3 or 4 finger gestures not working

Hello,

an external touchpad from Bosto does not work completely with my system.
https://www.bostotablet.com/prod_view.aspx?TypeId=97&id=356&fid=t3:97:3

I tried Touchpad on another PC with Ubuntu 24.04. It works incl. gesture control with 3 and 4 fingers.
For Fedora 41 one or two finger functionality possible but no gnome related controls with gestures not working.
I can connect it via bluetooth and found BOSTO related entries.
with
sudo libinput list-devices
no output if for swipe inputs

sudo libinput list-devices

Welcome to Fedora @budscoop

Have you checked on https://linux-hardware.org/ if it is listed to work with F41?

Ubuntu delivers with any kind of drivers while Fedora just delivers open source Software which is free.

You could run the computer with a live iso from ubuntu and check with inxi -Fzxx to see which driver the device uses.
Afterwards you would have to search if this specific driver is available on Fedora.

Hello,

Thank you for prompt feedback.

I did not found any Bosto part inside data base at linux-hardware.org

I tried inxi -Fzxx with Ubuntu 24.10 on same PC - as a parallel system.
I connected it with different modes via usb, stick and bluetooth.
I did not found any touchpad related info with this comand for all 3 connection mode

Thank you.

You can also use lsusb to see if it is seen by the kernel. If this is the case chances to make it work is there.
I also observed on their website that they just are compatible for mac and win.
