    Question Wacom tablet pc right click.

    Hi Guys,

    I've just got ubuntu 10.04 running on my Motion M1400. The default drivers/config for the Wacom tablet were working great except for right click. I've now edited my 10-wacom.conf (apparently the 10.04 version of xorg.conf) to enable right click.

    My problem is that in 8.10 (the last OS on my tablet) right click was mapped in such a way that holding down the side button AND tapping the screen produced a right click. In 10.04 just tapping the side button produces a right click.

    The 8.10 version was useful for gestures etc. So my question is. How do I edit the config file so that holding the side button & tapping the screen results in a right click?

    Hope that all makes sense (I'm tired, its been a long day so feel free to ask for clarification on anything).

    Cheers

    Hi grindboy,

    Sounds like you need to add:
    Code:
    Option  "TPCButton"  "on"
    just before:
    Code:
    Option  "Button2"  "3"
    in the serial snippet in 10-wacom.conf you are editing.

    It's serial. So it would be in the serial snippet:
    Code:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Wacom serial class"
    MatchProduct "Serial Wacom Tablet"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option  "TPCButton"  "on"
    EndSection

    What's not working? If you want the right click you have to add:
    Code:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Wacom serial class"
    MatchProduct "Serial Wacom Tablet"
    Driver "wacom"
    Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
    Option  "TPCButton"  "on"
    Option  "Button2"  "3"
    EndSection
