Install Wizardpen driver for Iball tablet

[drpjkurian]

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?

Hi Tollkirk

Please see the post #18. The problem of knyazz was solved by editing the .fdi file.
So please check out your .fdi file and edit it if required. I presume that your driver is installed without any glitches.

Let me know if you need help in editing .fdi

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.

Hi
I am sorry to say that i have no idea why it is not working in your machine.
The possible reasons could be
1. Your sudo password could be wrong.
2. You might have copied the command wrongly.

Well please try once again by copying the command from the first post using Ctrl C.

Hi marceze
Before trying step 8, please use the following command namely

sudo -i

And then try step 8.
Just paste this when you see 'I' in your terminal

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
            <deviceinfo version="0.2">
            <device>
                <!-- This MUST match with the name of your tablet obtained -->
                <!-- in Step 2 specified previously                        -->
                <match key="info.product" contains="WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet">
                <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>

                <!-- Modify these configuration accordingly -->
                <!-- See CONFIGURATION OPTIONS section for the full-set of -->
                <!-- configurable options                                  -->
                <merge key="input.x11_options.TopX" type="string">5619</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.TopY" type="string">6554</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.BottomX" type="string">29405</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.BottomY" type="string">29671</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">29405</merge>
                <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">29671</merge>
                </match>
            </device>
            </deviceinfo>

Hi

I hae the same challenge as Marceze, I copied the code and entered in the terminal and it produced:
"djftl@ubuntu:~$ sudo vim /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
[sudo] password for djftl:
sudo: vim: command not found"
My password is correct and I have copied and entered the code properly. What could be the problem? Isn't any other command to use instead of 'vim'?

Regards

Hi
I found out the solution for your problem.Well vim is version of the UNIX editor.
I think that is not installed in your machine by default. So please install GVim Text Editor from Add remove programmes fearture or Ubuntu software.

Please let me know your outcome.

With regards
