[SOLVED] Wacom button mapping confusion

Not sure this is the place to ask this, but if not, please point me where would be appropriate. So i have a wacom tablet, and arch linux recognizes it fine and all; but my problem is that when i touch the stylus to the pad, it behaves like a middle mouse click, when i want it to behave like left click, and i haven't quite worked out how to do that from reading the wiki. Do i map it the same as the pad buttons as in the example provided in the wiki?

Re: [SOLVED] Wacom button mapping confusion

Have a look at udev and you can write a udev rule to configure your wacom including your touch pen.

You can map it any way you want with xsetwacom as long as xev sees it. Those are the tools you use to configure your udev rule.

EDIT: If you're using KDE: https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … comtablet/

Re: [SOLVED] Wacom button mapping confusion

I understand that those are the tools used for remapping the buttons, but the instructions only point to remapping the buttons on the pad, and not the stylus, which is where my confusion lies. i've managed to get it somewhat operational using the kcm-wacomtablet utility, but i'm still encountering issues where if i press hard enough with the stylus, it will still behave like middle mouse click, the kcm-wacomtablet doesn't seem to allow mapping multiple hardware buttons to 1 button.

Figured it out after finding the tablet configuration documentation on the linuxwacom github page.

You beat me to it. I was going to say that setting the stylus is possible. And thanks for the link. Didn't know it existed.
