Hi,
I saw that someone used a Microsoft active pen on the libra 2, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmVSDzVr6d8
It was posted in april 2022.
I have tried with all firmware versions since that time from 4.32.19501 to latest 4.35.20400.
And the sketching app never worked with my MS pen.

But.... When resetting my Libra 2, before setting or bypassing the user account creation the pen does work on the interface.

How can this be ?
It looks like the libra 2 hardware supports this type of pen.
But when creating a user then the pen gets disabled.

How can it be re-enabled ?
is there a DB, FW, conf file... hack for this ?

Also I see that the FW is the same as for the sage and elipsa.
Can the FW be hacked to have the same features of the sage/elipsa on the libra 2 ?

Thank you for your help
