Virtual Keyboard not recognized as internal keyboard #22

I got Linux installed on my Chuwi and everything works great after installing the minibook-support. However I got a lot of unintended taps on the touchpad. After some troubleshooting, I found that my setting "Disable while typing" no longer works after installing the minibook-support.

The root cause is that the virtual keyboard is not recognized as an internal keyboard. So when I am typing on the virtual keyboard, it does not trigger the "Disable while typing". Here is a work around that works for me:

Create a file /usr/share/libinput/local-overrides.quirks with the following content:

[MiniBookSupport Virtual Keyboard]
MatchName=MiniBookSupport Virtual Keyboard*
MatchUdevType=keyboard
AttrKeyboardIntegration=internal

Save the file and reboot the system. Then the virtual keyboard is recognized as an internal keyboard, and the setting is working again.

I'm not sure whether this can be fixed from the code itself. Hope it can help others who had the same issue.
