talbet PC Pen issue: eraser end 'work' only @@

**wildbat** · October 2nd, 2009

hi, I have a Fujitsu T4220 tablet pc.

the eraser end can move the cursor and left-click(for some reason) but nothing work at the the normal pen tips.

tried: wacom-utility
http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show...09&forumpage=0,
but no luck ( it detect no graphic tablet device :<)

anyone have a clue how to fix that ?

Chances are its a serial digitizer, and as such the utility you mentioned won't work

What's the output of :

xinput --list

This should show whether the stylus is being detected OK ( or not.. )

I'm having the exact same problem with KArmic on my T4215

xinput --list
indicates that the wacom eraser is detected, but not the stylus.

Any updates on this issue?

Thanks,
A.

Hi astrand,

Could you attach the output of "xinput --list"?

The xinput --list output is attached.
Thanks,

Hi astrand,

That definitely isn't right. Your eraser line is:

Code:

"PnP Device (FUJ02e5) eraser"	id=8	[XExtensionKeyboard]

and your stylus line should look something like:

Code:

"PnP Device (FUJ02e5)"	id=?	[XExtensionKeyboard]

To rule out a hardware problem, i.e. broken stylus tip, is it working in another OS, say windows?

Let's hope it's something simple with the serial section of the .fdi. Please attach a copy of your '10-linuxwacom.fdi' at "/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi"

Are you using Karmic beta?

**astrand** · October 14th, 2009

It's definitely not a HW problem.

Pen and eraser both work in vista.

10-linuxwacom.fdi is attached.

This is a fresh install of Karmic Beta, not an upgrade.

cheers,
Allan

Hi astrand,

The .fdi looks OK to me. So it may not be something simple.

It sure looks like the stylus should show up. We could try playing with it a little. After all the eraser is showing up.

Other possibilities are kind of endless. Upstream .fdi problem. Like in the 10-Tabletpc.fdi? Or maybe the the udev 40-wacom.rules accidently dropped the symlink for your serial tablet? Or maybe a regression in linuxwacom, where your product id accidently got dropped?

We could check out the Vendor and Product ID's with lsusb and/or lshal>lshal.txt.

I'd search launchpad for a bug(s) report. You may need to file one.
