Brian Ashworth 2ea5d2985a input/libinput: remove input type property bias
This changes it so all libinput config options are set on any device
that supports it. Previously, only a subset of libinput config options
were being considered depending on the input type. Instead of trying to
guess which properties the device may support, attempt to set any
configured property regardless of the device type. All of the functions
already have early returns in them for when the device does not actually
support the property. This brings the configuration side inline with
describe_libinput_device for the IPC side. This change was prompted
by a tablet tool showing the calibration matrix property in the IPC
message, but not being able to actually change it since that property
was only being considered for the touch input type.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

*Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
