HOW TO set up a Waltop tablet in Lucid & Maverick

[yusuke494]

Hi

I'm developping Waltop tablet driver which supports "tablet mode".
My Page:http://yusuke494.web.fc2.com/english/

How did Xorg wacom driver detect Mars A tablet?

Probably the following line exists in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

(--) WALTOP **** stylus: Wacom USB **** tablet maxX=**** maxY=**** maxZ=**** resX=**** resY=**** tilt=****

Please tell me about these values in this line.

EDIT: Whats the advantage of your driver?
Is the tablet mode the mode which always uses the fullscreen based on the monitor? I can only activade this in the wacom-settings.

Thank you, floric

According to your Xorg-file, your tablet is running with maxX=20000, maxY=12500.

Your tablet resolution is 4000 LPI(lines per inch) at 10" x 6.25", thus maxX and maxY should be as follows.

maxX = 4000 LPI x 10" = 40000 lines
maxY = 4000 LPI x 6.25" = 25000 lines

Waltop tablets have some running modes.

Default mode: restricted tablet resolution
Tablet mode: native tablet resolution

I guess your tablet is running with 2000 LPI in "Default mode".

My driver enables Waltop tablet to run in "Tablet mode", but hasn't support Mars A yet.

Ah, makes sense. I'll try it, if your driver is ready.
