To get the cursor to move again, you can click a button somewhere else on the tablet, and the cursor will jump there (and then you have the same problem again)
or you can lift the stylus out of the tablet's range (1-2 inches) and put it back, at which point it functions normally until you next click.
...
I fixed it although i'm not sure how. the last thing i did was change both instances of MatchDevicePath in 70-wizardpen.conf to "/dev/input/event6"
...
I've been playing with it for hours but apparently this was the magic combination.
...

I had the same problem, spending whole day on the net. Having ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) and Waltop family (G-Pen F610) tablet, for me the magic trick was to remove
MatchTag "wizardpen"
from 70-wizardpen.conf file.
Now it looks like:

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier      "wizardpen"
   MatchIsTablet   "on"
   MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
   Driver          "wizardpen"
   Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/event6"
   Option          "TopX"          "152"
   Option          "TopY"          "42"
   Option          "BottomX"       "20000"
   Option          "BottomY"       "12500"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier      "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
   MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
   Option          "MouseSpeed" "16"
   Option          "ignore"     "true"
   Driver          ""

Hi, I have been tried and I have a problem with the step 8.

When I write:

sudo vim /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
Said: sudo: vim: command not found

Anybody can help me?

Thanks...

[schkovich]

When I write:
sudo vim /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
Said: sudo: vim: command not found

Try instead:

sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

Just to report. I'm using Debian Squeeze.

I used the wizardpen driver from doctormo's ppa for Ubuntu Lucid. It installed flawlessly.

I also followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

But I couldn't get my tablet (UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U) to work correctly. The pointer stayed at top left of the screen.

What else did I do to make it work? I noticed the following lines in my Xorg.0.log:

(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall"
(**) UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U: Applying InputClass "evdev tablet catchall

That meant it didn't match the InputClass specification that was in the howto, and used a generic one. So I commented the "MatchVendor" line in the InputClass section, restarted X, and it started working.

I hope this helps someone else.

Does anyone get working Genius Easypen m610? I can't get it works on my Linux Mint 10, I fallow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen, but it's stil not working. I'm new in linux, please somebody help me with this problem.
My 70-wizardpen.conf looks like that now:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/6x10 Tablet"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/6x10 Tablet"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

I can't get my UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U to work with 10.10.

I followed your guide and when I try to save the .fdi file a message appears saying that this file does not exist.

What can I do?

Hi Im having the same problem as you and tried taking out that line from the conf file, however i still cannot create that fdi file b/c the directory does not exist. Any advice?

Karmic is the last release of Ubuntu that uses HAL/.fdi. Starting with Lucid things change to xorg.conf.d/.conf file.

You probably need a keyword for the match with MatchProduct to place it on the WizardPen driver. Enter in a terminal:

xinput list

The line that has your tablet will have keyword(s) you can use for the match in the 70-wizardpen.conf
