[SOLVED]can't disable touch for wacom bamboo

Hello!

xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 6x8 Finger touch" Touch off

doesnt work since

xsetwacom --list devices

returns only stylus and eraser. Did i miss something or is it broken?

It used to work on my old pc but i can't say if it hasnt worked on laptop at all or it just got broken recently.

devices i get, just in case:

Wacom Bamboo 16FG 6x8 Pen stylus	id: 12	type: STYLUS    
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 6x8 Pen eraser	id: 13	type: ERASER 

laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p
tablet is wacom bamboo CTH-670

 Did you check xinput? I never used a graphic tablet with gnu/linux, so it is a guess.

ok,

xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0

did the trick. But that seems to be a workaround, doesn't it?

Re: [SOLVED]can't disable touch for wacom bamboo

 How so?

xinput - utility to configure and test X input devices

 Do you expect the extra software that handles the tablet to do that? Maybe it is possible, check manuals and the packages content.

Re: [SOLVED]can't disable touch for wacom bamboo
