Jacob Mink 8f45850b7d Package Dell XPS touchpad haptics (#86)
* feature: Add Dell haptic touchpad control, update default intensity

* fix: polish Dell haptic touchpad package

Use an MIT license file for the packaged scripts and prefer the active loginctl user in the install hook so the initial intensity setup targets the live desktop session instead of an arbitrary regular account.

* fix: clean up Dell haptic touchpad package metadata

Drop the bundled license file and align the package metadata so the package contents still build cleanly after the maintainer update.

* fix: correct Dell haptic touchpad package URL

Point the package metadata at the canonical omarchy-pkgs repository so users see the source location maintained under the omacom-io project.

* feature: package Dell XPS haptics as standalone service

* fix: tighten Dell haptics package setup

dell-xps-touchpad-haptics

This package installs the Dell XPS Synaptics haptic touchpad daemon, its systemd service, and a small CLI for switching between Omarchy's preset haptic levels.

What it installs:

  • /usr/bin/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics
  • /usr/bin/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics-daemon
  • /usr/lib/systemd/system/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.service
  • /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.rules

What the pacman install hook does:

  • picks a desktop user and writes /etc/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.env
  • creates ~/.config/omarchy/dell-haptic.conf if needed
  • enables the service and restarts it when a running systemd manager is available

Usage:

dell-xps-touchpad-haptics get
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set low
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set mid
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set high

Preset levels:

  • low = 10
  • mid = 50
  • high = 100

Debugging:

  • level changes are logged by the service when it notices the config change and attempts HID gain readback
  • set DELL_XPS_TOUCHPAD_HAPTICS_DEBUG=1 in /etc/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.env to log each press and release report to journalctl -u dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.service
