wacom/waltop stylus pressure & click

GalacticArachnid · 2009-11-17 22:48:04

just installed the linuxwacom package from the aur, since the old installed stopped working (device is fully recognised, just didnt respond), after some update. Thats cool......

So finally, after a good half hour of being railed in the arse PKGBUILDs and what not, i got the driver to install. Yay, I can uses the stylus to move the cursor. And thats about it. Quite useless really, without the whole pressure sensitivity, or any left/right click functionality.

Can you help? How do I get mah WALTOP to left&right click (bonus points if you can get it to middle click too)

also xsetwacom does not work ('xsetwacom list' produces no results)

any ideas people?

Okay, here's some info about the current situation.

content of /etc/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules

KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="172f", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"

NO /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-linuxwacom.fdi

result: can move the cursor, can't click.

when adding the following /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-linuxwacom.fdi (based on this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … 49&page=11):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="input.originating_device" contains="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_172f_31_noserial_if0">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">stylus</merge>
          <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-wacom</append>
          <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-wacom</append>
          <append key="wacom.types" type="strlist">cursor</append>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

result: repeated xorg crash.

also, when using /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-tablet.fdi instead, the contents being an exact copy of those on the arch linux wiki, the result is also a repeated xorg crash.

Hmmm, any linuxwacom users out there?

do you still have these problems? i'm using the bamboo fun and while i can't seem to fully configure the tablet (mouse is in absolute mode, sometimes the stylus gets stuck) there is no X crash. I've installed the new xorg-driver xf86-input-wacom and removed all of linuxwacom. Additionally, I had to make sure that the wacom driver is used and not evdev (which amounted to some more errors) by creating a udev rule slightly larger than yours.
