Ubuntu 24.04

Just to let you know: This driver also works with Ubuntu 24.04.

Initially I had the following bug too, where libpinput was used instead of nextwindow : #8
But than I found issue #12 and noticed the identical outputs. This was fixed by following #12 (comment)

So instead of executing cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/nextwindow_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ in the Build xf86-input-nextwindow Xorg module step, execute:

cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/nextwindow_drv.la /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/nextwindow_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/

after a reboot, everything worked as expected.
@glorang Maybe this should be noted in the readme, as I've used a default Ubuntu bash shell (no modifications).

Thanks for testing and reporting back @rmeissn ! I was going test again as well on Ubuntu 24.04 some time soon and update the procedure again so it's valid for 24.04.

It's very weird cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/nextwindow_drv.* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ does not work for you (and tinkermaniac). This is very basic globbing in the shell. Are you sure you don't disable it somewhere : set -f or set -o noglob ?

Did that cp command give any error? What is the output of echo $-?

Anyway maybe I'll just update it to cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/nextwindow_drv.{la,so} /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/

I didn't alter any shell configurations and executed everything on a newly installed system.
I actually didn't check whether those files were copied or not, I just tried the tip from #12 (comment) , as the touchscreen wasn't working properly after the first reboot. After copying those files manually and rebooting again, everything worked as expected, so I guess they were not copied correctly.

Something I noticed on the PC: Sometimes a font is rendered incorrectly, producing black boxes instead of characters. But I can't tell whether this is the PC (default Ubuntu 24.04 config, no changes) or related to the additional nwfermi driver & configuration. This is happening sporadically e.g. in gnome-software (native deb application).
