Doesn't work on thinkpad t480

[amosbird]

I'm trying this promising script on my arch box on thinkpad t480, however it doesn't work as it does literally nothing. Three finger drag doesn't generate any noticeable events to me.

If it doesn't for you, please file an issue with as much documentation as you can so that I can try to fix it.

I'm very unfamiliar with libinput and uinput, what information should I provide? Thanks!

I just pushed a change that had been sitting on my t580 for a while, try it now! I also have the synaptics touchpad so it should work. Let me know if you have trouble.

Oh I should also mention I've discovered that the /dev/input address of the device changes occasionally, so an autostart script won't be super reliable. An autodetect touchpad feature is coming in draggy eventually.

Yeah, it now works as expected. However that -l lock option doesn't work well. Cursor jumps around when doing drags after the first one. https://la.wentropy.com/yW-8.webm

Moved locked drag jumpiness to its own issue; closing this issue as the original problem has been fixed.
