@starlabssystems I looked into libinput but it appears that it only targets touchpads, not touchscreens. Documentation explicitly states: "Note that libinput does not support gestures on touchscreens". Regarding sensitivity, I only found references to touchpad pressure, nothing for touchscreens.

@starlabssystems Is there any possibility to tweak the touch sensitivity for the StarLite MK V? Ever since I added the official screen protector, multitouch gestures, such as the three-finger workspace swipe on GNOME, are almost impossible. I also have to apply a bit of pressure for touch clicks.

@Nos Sure. I'll let you know when I have a working config again. There is a virtual keyboard for Sculpt on PinePhone but it requires integration and adaptation for Sculpt on PC.

@mntmn For a pocket-size touch device, I'd consider 6" the maximum tolerable display size. Everything between 5" and 6" is comfort zone. I wouldn't mind a bit of chunkiness, though. I think 15mm thickness is well manageable. Don't care about weight.

Making progress on getting @starlabssystems's StarLite5 tablet ready for Sculpt OS. I've been experimenting with adding touch gestures to @genode's event filter. I had a great time implementing swipe gestures as well as press-and-hold for right-clicking. Have a look...
