            Bug ID: 104956
           Summary: palm detection, disable while typing, disable tapping
                    nonfunctional with Wayland, libinput in Ubuntu 17.10
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jik at kamens.us

I'm using Wayland in Ubuntu 17.10. It has libinput 1.8.2, or at least so the
version number on the package claims.

I have this in my /usr/share/X11/xofg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "Tapping" "false"
        Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true"
        Option "PalmDetection" "true"
EndSection

None of the options specified there seem to be doing anything. I still
regularly accidentally tap by brushing against the touchpad, and similarly the
mouse cursor moves whenever I brush against the touchpad while typing.

I see from bug 101789 that there should be a "Disable While Typing Enabled"
property on the touchpad device, but it's not present on my device.

Any insights? What additional information can I provide you about my hardware
which will assist in troubleshooting this? Thanks.
