Hi, after not using it for a while I did a fresh install on my X200 Tablet. After dual booting pop os and debian the last time, I chose Fedora Immutable Sway this time. I hope the reason I am not posting on a Fedora Immutable specific forum will become apparent. So after the install and some initial configuration went really smoothly I noticed the stylus does not work. It does not list in either swaymsg -t get_inputs or libinput list-devices. I am happy to provide my output of any such commands if it helps. However, here is what I tried so far:
- After finding this issue with lightdm Missing some input devices in wayland session · Issue #63 · ubuntu/lightdm · GitHub , I chose to eliminate this as a cause by installing Fedora Workstation 43 instead. And there I have the same Problem of the stylus not working (edit: unless it does, see below).
- With the same Workstation install, I installed xfce to see if the problem has to do with wayland. Under xfce the stylus is also not recognized.
- I wanted to downgrade to see if earlier versions of Fedora don’t have the problem. I did get to try it under sway immutable with Fedora 42 (instead of 43) where the stylus also did not work. I could not downgrade that install to something earlier than 42, but that’s a different problem for a different thread I suppose.
- I did boot a pop os live usb stick. Here the stylus directly worked!
Sorry if that was messy. But I am hoping that someone might have an idea how I could get the stylus to work. I did use my search engine a bunch, where one can find a lot of issues with styluses (never precisely the x200 tablet though) but the best result was that lightdm issue above.
I’m happy for any help as I would be really happy to have fedora on that machine 
Edit: I’ll add debugging/output here instead of in additional posts/replies.
I just booted the Fedora 43 Workstation again and the stylus works there on default gnome wayland as well as on xfce. On the one hand that’s confusing to me but then again it’s a good thing I guess? I’ll just suppose I wasn’t to mindful the first time around until it stops working again. Anyways, here is the output of libinput list-devices in gnome:
