[kind of solved] Genius G-Pen 4500 (tablet) configuration

I bought mentioned tablet.

I read about the wizardpen driver before but when I got it i plugged it in and it just worked out of the box, even sensetivity.

So I think this wiki entry isn't up to date (and therefore i opened this topic):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Genius_Tablet

Well, it is working like it should (on default) but I want to make some configuration:
I searched a lot in the internet but I got confused. Mainly the configuration i found is made for the wizardpen driver, but since udev handels the tablet now I don't have a plan how to do it.
What I want to do is:

1. I want a smaller pen-area, mainly in the vertical direction, because i have 16:10 monitor and the tablet is 4:3
There is an toturial for setting up the pen-area, but besides from being for the wizardpendriver it only shows how to configure the maximum pen-area (notice that values aren't even in a 4:3 ratio, so no math to resolve this): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

2. I want to be able to do vertical scrolling with the pen. Middelbutton+leftbutton for scrolling would be nice.

3. I want the mouse of the tablet to be absolute, like the pen

(4.) I'm afraid, there is no way to use the short-cuts-field on the tablet, right?


I would appreciate some hints to achieve what i want.

Thanks
Fabio

What are the relevant lines about it from Xorg.0.log? Is there anything about it in the /etc/xorg/conf.d/ files?

there is something in 10-evdev.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"

I will put some random coordenates after the driver entry to see if it has an effect
EDIT: without effect

I saw a reference earlier to wizardpen-calibrate. Maybe that is in the package and would be useful. It would probably need the driver, though.

See man evdev. There is  Option Calibration.

Re: [kind of solved] Genius G-Pen 4500 (tablet) configuration

so I kind of solved things adding some lines to /etc/xorg/conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
Option "Calibration" "4000 27000 6000 26000"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection

had to work with "trail and error" here. now I have a 16:10 ratio and the middel of the tablet is + or - in the middel of the screen. And I can move all over the screen almost without moving my hand, wich I wanted to achieve (i am using it as a mouse not for drawing)

configured the middelbutton for scrolling, but its kind of unusable...but that seams to be hardware-problem

can be configured in the same file, but it seams not to be provided by my tablet
