XSetWacom not working

Using the pre-built xsetwacom, some device options are ignored. I think this may be, because up-stream support for those options came after the version that Artix ships. I'm not sure.

However, when I try to build it myself, the resulting binary doesn't work. *Any* xsetwacom command just hangs forever. I've tried cloning the Artix repo, and also using the Aur/xf86-input-wacom-nosystemd version.

Building either of them has the same result: every xsetwacom command hangs forever.

Does anyone know why building this package myself produces a broken binary?

It is, and that reminded me to check `libwacom-list-devices`, which does work.

Does libwacom have a way to set options like `xsetwacom` does? I only see these binaries from the libwacom package:

```
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-list-devices
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-list-local-devices
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-show-stylus
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-update-d
```

Code: [Select]
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-list-devices
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-list-local-devices
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-show-stylus
libwacom /usr/bin/libwacom-update-d

use code with lowercase brackets and a the /code to end the code in lower case brackets. 

i can not find a xsetwacom in artix arch or aur with pamac manager search

or on the aur search page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=xsetwacom

2 options from artix world and 2 from arch community

sorry i'm dense i get it now.  it's included in the xf86 package

is libwacom provided by the non systemd version you built from the aur and interferring with it?

Ah, I found it! That was a good suggestion. I was only checking the file-contents lists of the three packages, and, the two I was building *do not* provide libwacom.

But somehow I had old versions of the libwacom libs. I removed those and rebuilt the package, and at least the Artix one is working now.

Thanks!
