Timo,

 Could you help SRU into bionic? Thanks!

 Here is the SRU bug link. If we SRU at lp:1774242, I think I could
duplicate lp:1852691.

Title:
  Wacom touchscreens should use libinput, not wacom driver

Status in xf86-input-wacom package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xf86-input-wacom source package in Bionic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wacom.conf as shipped, has this:

  Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "Wacom touchscreen class"
          MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM|PTK-540WL|ISD-V4"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          MatchIsTouchscreen "true"
          Driver "wacom"
  EndSection

  The result is that on my Yoga 920, in a plain X11 session (running
  openbox in my case), the touchscreen acts like a broken mouse: there
  is no multi-touch capability in Qt Quick applications, and clicking
  isn't quite right either.  I also verified it with Peter Hutterer's
  old cairo-based mt-touch test program.

  I suspect we will get some users mistakenly writing up Qt bugs about
  this if you don't ship a fix.  (Seems to me that already happened at
  least once, actually.)

  Yes, the touchscreen is made by Wacom, but wacom_drv.so has
  historically been only for Wacom tablets and in-screen stylus
  digitizers, and IMO that continues to be the case.  libinput is a much
  better choice of driver for this hardware (so is evdev for that
  matter), so I changed it to Driver "libinput" and got it working.
  (Wayland uses libinput, so in a wayland session, touch already works
  fine in Qt apps on this hardware.)

  I'm one of the Qt Quick maintainers, most concerned with touch
  handling, and I've also written some of the Qt xcb code for dealing
  with XInput touch and tablet devices.  So if you think that there's
  something wrong with Qt, such that it should still work anyway to use
  a wacom driver for a Wacom touchscreen, let me know.  These AES
  devices are still new to me (that's why I got a Yoga, to try it out).
