    Hi alex941021@yahoo.com,

    Great! Glad you got it working.

    The Intuos4 is pretty new so I don't think Loic2's updated his Wacom wiki for it yet. We just figured out how to get it working in the last week or so after all. And of course the same applies to the modified .fdi. Anyway it's good you are set-up.

    Hi Favux, ceridwen

    in fact I haven't figured out how to configure the tablet buttons either.

    The bad thing is that the "pad" section in wacomcpl does not show anything !



    There is also a strange behaviour that makes me think that the wacom driver
    is not working perfectly: using the default setting, the top left button (in fact the bottom-right button in my left-hand setting) semmes to act as the mouse middle button: "paste"
    However it only works ONCE, AFTER USING touch ring.

    If you press it several times, only the first press has an effect.

    But if you keep another finger on the ring (without moving), then
    the "paste" button does work everytime you press !

    Strange isn't it ? Anyone experimenting the same behaviour ?

    Hi sanette, Hi Favux,


    I also haven't figured out how to configure the tablet buttons either.
    For me it's the same, that the "pad section" in wacomcpl does not show anything.



    @sanette


    i can't reproduce the strange behaviour of your paste feature. For me every press of each button has no effect.

    Hi ceridwen

    strange that none of your buttons work.
    Have you tried to run xev ?

    open a terminal, type
    Code:
    xev
    it opens a small white window. Put your mouse cursor in it, and
    touch the ring of the tablet. You should see lots of information in the terminal.
    Then after playing with the touch ring, press a button.
    Does it show something in the terminal?

    Re: Wacom Intuos4 on Ubuntu

    Hi sanette, Favux

    my father would like to say: Someone who can read is in advantage.
    That is what i have done to get my buttons work.

    1.) read reply #89 from Favux again

    2.) read Section 3: Calibrating your Tablet PC.

    2.1) Call
    Code:
    wacomcpl
    This creates .xinitrc in my home directory

    2.2) Important! Edit xinitrc in /etc/X11/xinit. Look for
    Code:
    # invoke global X session script
    . /etc/X11/Xsession
    comment out the last entry like this:

    Code:
    # invoke global X session script
    #. /etc/X11/Xsession
    this prevent a loop in the startup script

    2.3) make .xinitrc executable
    Code:
    chmod +x ~/.xinitrc
    2.4) add the following entry in System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Change <username> to your name.
    Code:
    sh /home/<username>/.xinitrc
    3.) read the posting #188 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967147&page=19

    3.1) For interest is the code section
    Code:
    xsetwacom set pad Button4 "core key  NumpadMinus "
    xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key  NumpadPlus "
    xsetwacom set pad Button2 "core key  F12 "
    xsetwacom set pad Button1 "core key  Esc"
    3.2) I insert manually in a terminal
    Code:
    xsetwacom set pad AbsWDn "+ "
    xsetwacom set pad AbsWUp "- "
    3.3) The touchring should insert '+' or '-' in the terminal

    3.4) Now i edit the .xinitrc in my home directory and I insert
    somthing stupid like key 'A' up to Key 'I'

    Code:
    #buttons on the left side of the tablet
    xsetwacom set pad Button1 "core key A " #button inside touchring
    xsetwacom set pad Button2 "core key B " #top button
    xsetwacom set pad Button3 "core key C "
    xsetwacom set pad Button4 "core key D "
    xsetwacom set pad Button5 "core key E "
    xsetwacom set pad Button6 "core key F "
    xsetwacom set pad Button7 "core key G "
    xsetwacom set pad Button8 "core key H "
    xsetwacom set pad Button9 "core key I " #bottom button
    3.5) save and restart

    3.6) start an editor and you can write with the buttons ABCDEFGHI. Great!


    Thanks for all your help,

    ceridwen

    Hi ceridwen,

    Excellent! Great work ceridwen!

    So the Intuos4 pad does work with the 0.8.2-2 linuxwacom packages in Jaunty.

    Looks like we now have a complete HOW TO. Maybe scattered about a bit.

    Wow I'm impressed.

    But alas it does not work for me...

    what is your version of xsetwacom ?

    xsetwacom --version
    0.1.7

    Re: Wacom Intuos4 on Ubuntu

    Hi Favux,

    i dont use the 0.8.2-2 linuxwacom packages. I've downloaded the 0.8.3-4 and create the 0.8.3-4 wacom.ko and copy it as it is described on page 11 post #104 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...038949&page=11



    Hi sanette,

    the version of xsetwacom is the same as yours. 0.1.7

    Re: Wacom Intuos4 on Ubuntu

    YES ! it works

    thanks to you ceridwen I worked hard to see what difference I could have with your configuration.
    In fact it seems that my X11 driver wacom_drv.so was not the original one from ubuntu's xserver-xorg-input-wacom 8.2.2.
    (indeed I did many compilations and stuff before having a working config)

    So I did

    sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools

    (to clean things up)

    and then just reinstalled the wacom.ko file from my 8.3-4 compilation
    AND the custom 10-wacom.fdi

    Restart... and it works !!

    Re: Wacom Intuos4 on Ubuntu

    So, in order to sum up

    * the X11 driver from ubuntu 8.2.2 is GOOD (wacom_drv.so)
    * the kernel driver wacom.ko should be compiled from 8.3-2 (or -3 or -4)
    * the fdi file should be replaced with Favux's

    I also noticed that

    * ubuntu's wacomcpl is not so good (does not display pad buttons) BUT
    * the wacomcpl-exec that you get when compiling 8.3-4 DOES show the buttons, and config change works !

    Things to be loaded at startup:

    * the wacom module (in /etc/modules)
    * any config that you put in .xinitrc (for some reason configuring keys in FDI file does not work so good)

    yeah
