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.

ooo, I think this could work. Found all the options there
thanks

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"
EndSection1. 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
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)
2. I want to be able to do vertical scrolling with the pen. Middelbutton+leftbutton for scrolling would be nice.
configured the middelbutton for scrolling, but its kind of unusable...but that seams to be hardware-problem
3. I want the mouse of the tablet to be absolute, like the pen
can be configured in the same file, but it seams not to be provided by my tablet
(4.) I'm afraid, there is no way to use the short-cuts-field on the tablet, right?
well....let's not talk about it........lol
