Re: HOWTO INSTALL WIZARDPEN DRIVER FOR iball TABLET
drpjkurian So far so good... however, after some toying lastnight, I noticed that the center of the tablet is not center on the screen in ubuntu.
I tried playing with the TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY, MaxX, MaxY Paramaters, but it didn't seem to make things better or worse.
Not sure if screen resolution matters, it doesn't seem to as my debian laptop has 1280x1024, while my ubuntu laptop has 800x600 on an external screen.
Center of the screen compared to center of the tablet is way off, center on the screen = 4th icon left, 2nd Icon down on the tablet.
If this is fixable, it would be great!
I'd also recommend that the Z paramaters be added into the Xorg Config for the WP8060U because without it, the pen will cause movement even an inch over the tablet.
Thanks in advance!
Re: HOWTO INSTALL WIZARDPEN DRIVER FOR iball TABLET
Thanks a lot ^^
it moves now...
ive seen those two strings on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen,
but forgot to add them into newly installed fdi from deb package ^^
yeah... i always say better install from source...

gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

2.Where do you want to put the whole parameter data?
Place the whole parameter data in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
Hope I have answered all your questions

So then it doesn't matter where the parameters go inside the file itself? I put them just above the </match> part. I double checked that I have the correct device name at the right place and that I used the right parameters for that device. I have a UC-Logic Tablet W8060U, so I guess it should work, and it woks fine, too, except I can't get any pressure sensibility out of it. Tried different programs as well, such as: Gimp, Pencil and Flash 8 under Wine.

Hi
You have done everything perfectly. I am perplexed in your case.
Well I suggest you to evoke the Help of my friend Favux who is a wizard in these issue. Please do invite him to this thread.
With regards

Hi Kensav
You can insert these options to enable MAX and MIN pressure sensitivity:
Option "TopZ" "10" Option "BottomZ" "511" Option "MaxZ" "511"
Where "TopZ" represents the lowest pressure-level to accept, and "BottomZ"/"MaxZ" represents the maximum pressure-level to accept.
Did you try this.
Please let me know
With regards
Dr Kurian

Hi
Please give a try to this instructions
1.Execute the following command: lshal | less
2.Search the section with the name of your tablet, as obtained from Step 2 in the configuration step. The line should read something like: info.product = '[Name of your tablet]'
3.Scroll down until you find the following line: linux.device_file = '/dev/input/eventN' (N will a number)
4.The source package contains a program called 'wizardpen-calibrate', which is in the 'calibrate' folder, which actually echoes the appropriate X11 calibration settings
5.Using a terminal/console, execute the calibration program: calibrate/wizardpen-calibrate /dev/input/eventN (*Note: Subtitute /dev/input/eventN with the one obtained from Step 3)
6.Follow the instructions issued by the program, which will ask you to touch the top-left corner and bottom-right corner. Once completed, the program will echo the corresponding xorg.conf setting
7.Edit the FDI file (/etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi) and subtitute the Top/Bottom/MaxX and Top/Bottom/MaxY values to the one obtained from the wizardpen-calibrate command
8.Once done, restart your computer and test your tablet (UPDATE: Noy noted in the comments that you don't have to restart, but rather unplug and replug the tablet for the new settings to take effect.
I got these from digital blue wave
Best of luck
Dr Kurian

I ran this, and did some searching. I found two devices for WP8060U

input.device = '/dev/input/event8' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_5543_5_noserial_if0' (string)

input.x11_options.BottomX = '32371' (string)
input.x11_options.BottomY = '32634' (string)
input.x11_options.BottomZ = '511' (string)

linux.device_file = '/dev/usb/hiddev0' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'usb' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/usb/hiddev0' (string)
I'm not sure which of these to use, also, will this 'event' or 'hiddev' always be the same numeric? IE will the tablet _always_ be /dev/input/event8 in this case (because I'm not sure it is) or will hiddev for this device always be hiddev0?
While I wait for your reply, I'm going to try both and see what I get.

I did this previously (the make/make install), and got the same output you guys gave for the WP8060U when I did the calibration. I even tried to make the area larger than what had been given after calibration, it did not change.
Also, one last note, you need to 'make clean' before you 'make && sudo make install', it looks like it wasn't made clean before being packaged up for distribution, otherwise you get the error 'No target for "build"'
Thanks again.

I get the same problem that you had - tapping the tablet activates 'back' in Firefox. Like you, I installed the driver by means of the deb - what exactly did you do to fix the problem? What are the two 'strings' you refer to?
Re: HOWTO INSTALL WIZARDPEN DRIVER FOR iball TABLET
Hi all of you:), I have a tablet genius Gpen F610, and it works fine, except by one thing, it's doesn't draw! when i'm pass throw the pen on tablet, it's only moves the cursor. I try to do what drpjkurian explain, but I have troubles to continue with the step 8, i don't know how to do the insert in terminal part, and when I wrote [sudo vim /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi] and left pres intro button, appears in the terminal this [sudo: vim: command not fund] so i don`t know how to continue.
The name in the terminal for the tablet is "WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet"
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bits, please help me! I don't want to go to win just for sketch my designs.:(
