Apologies in advance for being such a novice. Yesterday morning my Lenovo Precison Pen 2 was working just fine on my Framework 12 running Ubuntu 25.10 and then in the afternoon it wasn’t able to write or otherwise work as a stylus. To try to fix this all I could find to do, which I did, was
-
charge the pen from a computer instead of a plug-in charger;
-
change the protocol in the BIOS from MPP to USI and back again.
I also bought a Penoval USI 2.0 pen and set the BIOS to USI. This pen also doesn’t work.
I am able to use the touchscreen with my fingers.
The only diagnostics I can find to try are xinput and libinput debug-events. Using libinput showed nothing for the stylus in either case, but does for using my finger on the touchscreen. The output from xinput is below.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
