Serial wacom touchscreen very glitchy

synthead · 2010-07-05 06:49:45

I have a tablet with a serial wacom touchscreen. It partially works: it tracks the pen just fine, but occasionally, the cursor will jump to another part of the screen and "click." How can I solve this?

Okay so this is interesting. This happens in XFCE but not fluxbox. And something even more interesting: cellwriter functions fine in XFCE (besides the glitch), but in fluxbox, it only remembers one stoke per character.

Interesting! This glitchiness only happens when I click on "enable extended input events" in cellwriter. That fixes the one-stroke issue, but it starts the glitch. I can't stop it until I restart xorg.

Ugh, touchscreens are so annoying. I haven't made any headway on this. Is there any command or logfile I should look at to find where this extra unwanted event is occurring from?

I sent an email to the cellwriter author, hopefully he can help.

Got nothing back. Here is a video of the digitizer doing it's thing. I pressed on the button on the side of the stylus after a few moments into the video to show how much it "taps" on the screen. I have it set so the button + tap = right click. Notice how the cursor jumps about the screen too.
