METHOD FOR UBUNTU 11.04:
The old methods still working on Ubuntu 11.04 (Thanks BCtom)
For the Waltop models (like Genius Gpen-F509) you don't need install Wizardpen driver, only connect the tablet and enjoy.
You can know if your tablet is Waltop model with this command:
Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
In my case (Genius Gpen-F509) the MachtProduct is:
Code:
N: Name=" WALTOP Tablet "
METHOD FOR UBUNTU 10.10: (thanks negora for the solution and doctormo for update the ppa repository)
1. Install the Wizardpen driver from the deb package wizardpen_0.7.3-1_i386.deb or the ppa repository, you can add add the repository with this command:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen
2. Restart and enjoy your tablet
IMPORTANT: If your tablet don't work properly after the restart, try modifying the 70-wizardpen.conf file putting your configuration manually and report the bug:
For Gnome users:
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
For KDE users:
Code:
sudo kate /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
If you cannot edit this file, use this command and then try to edit again:
Code:
sudo cp /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
...and now put the info that I explain in the method for Ubuntu 10.04 in the point 2.
METHOD FOR UBUNTU 10.04
I've tried with another configuration for 70-wizardpen.conf and this works better.
1. Install Wizardpen driver from sources or deb binaries (I used the deb package wizardpen_0.7.3-1_i386.deb)
2. Type this command in the terminal to know the MachProduct info of your Pentablet:
Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
In my case the MachtProduct is:
Code:
N: Name=" WALTOP Tablet "
3. Use the calibration tool in the terminal:
Code:
wizardpen-calibrate /dev/tablet-event
4. Edit the file 70-wizardpen.conf using root privileges:
For Gnome users:
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
For KDE users:
Code:
sudo kate /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
So, my new 70-wizardpen.conf file for Genius G-pen F509 is:
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchProduct "WALTOP|Tablet"
Driver "wizardpen"
#[CALIBRATION] This data was taken from wizard-calibrate tool.
Option "TopX" "260"
Option "TopY" "377"
Option "BottomX" "17782"
Option "BottomY" "10584"
#[END CALIBRATION]
EndSection
And this is for Genius PenSketch 9x12.
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchProduct "Tablet|PF1209"
Driver "wizardpen"
#[CALIBRATION] This data was taken from wizard-calibrate tool.
Option "TopX" "0"
Option "TopY" "1553"
Option "BottomX" "32541"
Option "BottomY" "32762"
#[END CALIBRATION]
EndSection
