New Wacom Bamboo not working

**Favux** · October 17th, 2009

Hi kgingeri,

Button1 is the stylus tip and it is mapped to 1 (left click) by default. In Xournal in Options do you have it checked to use Xinput? And Pressure Sensitivity? Checking Gimp for pressure might be useful. See near the bottom here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom for configuring extended input devices.

**kgingeri** · October 17th, 2009

Yeah Favux, have all the settings in xournal right (I've used it with a Cintiq before). I will try Gimp - may have to install it first.

I'll also check out the extended input devices link tho!

NOTE!
If I unplug the tablet and plug it back in, the pen works right until some other event fires. So if I'm in a terminal and replug, I can select text, click menus for a short time. I haven't found any log info to suggest why tho

**Favux** · October 17th, 2009

When the stylus is "working" what does 'xinput --list' and 'dmesg | grep [Ww]acom' show?

**kgingeri** · October 17th, 2009

Ok Favux, dmesg isn't much different - just allocates next input:

Code:

root@kganb:~# dmesg | grep [Ww]acom >StylusDmesgNotWorking.txt

root@kganb:~# dmesg | grep [Ww]acom >StylusDmesgWorking.txt

root@kganb:~# diff StylusDmesg*

However xinput is quite different (I've included the 2 complete files also, but first a diff)

Code:

root@kganb:~# xinput --list >StylusNotWorking.txt

root@kganb:~# xinput --list >StylusWorking.txt

Another note - wacomcpl now comes up with devices but clicking on them produces various errors - for clicking Stylus...

Code:

can't read "isLCD(212)": no such element in array
can't read "isLCD(212)": no such element in array
    while executing
"if { ![ string compare $type "pad" ] } {
	    if { $hasPad($model) } {
		createPanel 0 1 0 0
	    }
	} elseif { ![ string compare $type "touch" ] } {
..."
    (procedure "updateDevice" line 24)
    invoked from within
"updateDevice"
    (command bound to event)

Interesting - looks like it's not recognizing my device type maybe.

I'll likely sign off here soon but I'll catch up tomorrow sometime.

PS: Favux - that link doesn't work for me - I'll try again tomorrow

Sorry, I think the link is good, the site just isn't responding.

I wonder if we should abandon the .fdi for now and try to configure through xorg.conf. You have a stylus with two buttons and an eraser, correct? No Wacom mouse or pad (buttons on tablet)? Did you post a xorg.conf?

**Favux** · October 17th, 2009

Hi kgingeri,

The idea would be to eliminate a variable. Since you put a symlink in udev this should work. Be sure to back up your xorg.conf and be ready to restore it from the command line. Remove, rename, or comment out the 10-wacom.fdi. Based on your posted xorg.conf, if what I guessed above is right, it should look like this:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "stylus"
	Driver "wacom"
	Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
	Option "Type" "stylus"
	Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
	Option "Button2" "2"  # make first button a middle button
	Option "Button3" "3"  # make second button a R button
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "eraser"
	Driver "wacom"
	Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
	Option "Type" "eraser"
	Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "Default Layout"
	Screen "Default Screen"
	InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
#	InputDevice "pad" # For Intuos3/CintiqV5/Graphire4/Bamboo tablets
EndSection

If it breaks X try commenting out the "SendCoreEvents" in "ServerLayout" like:

Code:

	InputDevice "stylus" #"SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice "eraser" #"SendCoreEvents"

Xserver has gotten more touchy in Jaunty.

Hi, I have attached my wacom_wac.c and wcmUSB.c

**bogdanbiv** · October 17th, 2009

How can I help? I'd like to test kgingeri's patch but it looks like it's spread across the whole thread (ten pages worth) and I'm too lazy to read it all (I followed up to 3 and then I read the 9-10th).

Since this is the last post that contains an archive I assume it's the latest. Is this correct or there are new changes to this?

I was wondering if patching this together wouldn't have been easier if you made a Launchpad repository with your changes? People would know if they have the latest changes and you could have tracked your own changes easier. Although there would have been some overhead, I believe it would have not be too high.

#	InputDevice "pad" # For Intuos3/CintiqV5/Graphire4/Bamboo tablets
EndSection

Code:

	InputDevice "stylus" #"SendCoreEvents"
	InputDevice "eraser" #"SendCoreEvents"

Xserver has gotten more touchy in Jaunty.

The only thing that I would like to add is to have the DebugLevel set to 12 for the stylus. This will help us be able to track down where certain events are coming from in the code. So for the stylus, just make it look like:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "stylus"
	Driver "wacom"
	Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
	Option "Type" "stylus"
	Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY
	Option "Button2" "2"  # make first button a middle button
	Option "Button3" "3"  # make second button a R button
        Option "DebugLevel" "12" #give us lots of info for Xorg.0.log
EndSection

As for the pressure threshold at 30, I think that is the minimum amount of pressure required before xorg will record the event as the pen touching the pad. We will still need to figure out why the pressure is not picked up. The DebugLevel might help.

Thanks! I will try take a look at it later today and try to come up with something. As I mentioned earlier, I will not be on as much this weekend because we are celebrating my son's birthday.
