Rotation is not applied to the stylus

[Xwang1976]

I'm using rot8 under X calling it at startup with the following command
rot8 --touchscreen 'WACF3200:00 29BD:1102'

When I rotate the device, the screen and the touch screen are correctly rotated, but the stylus is not.

This is the output of xinput list

How can I have also the stylus rotated?

It seems that the WACF3200:00 29BD:1102 Stylus Pen (0xc025a28c) does have only the coordinate trasformation matrix properties and I do not know if that creates the problem.

[Xwang1976]

With this command in autorun
rot8 --touchscreen 'WACF3200:00 29BD:1102' 'WACF3200:00 29BD:1102 Stylus Pen (0xc025a28c)'
It seems to work, but not the first time I rotate the device.
It rotates the screen and the touchscreen, but not the stylus.
But, if I rotate back the device and rotate again then everything seems to work.

hi @Xwang1976 ,

great that you use rot8.
Which OS are you using and which rot8 version?

is this a hardware bug?
It appears that the issue youre experiencing with the rot8 command might be related to the initial state of the stylus not being recognized correctly when you first rotate the device.
If this is really the case, we could possibly build something, that checks the stat on injection and sets it to normal.
Should we address something like this?

[Xwang1976]

Hi,
I'm using archlinux with rot8 installed using the rot8-git package in AUR.
I don't think it is an hardware bug, because it doesn't happen under windows.
I think it would be great if rot8 could solve the issue on Linux and if there is any test that I could do to help investigate the issue, please let me know.

Meantime the stylus has changed its name from WACF3200:00 29BD:1102 Stylus Pen (0xc025a28c) to WACF3200:00 29BD:1102 Stylus Pen (0xc0000000) so I've decided to use the id instead that the device names hoping that they will not change.
I can confirm that first time I rotate to portrait, the stylus is not rotated, but by rotating back to landscape and again to portrait it get the correct orientation.
