Hi Guys
In this thread you will come to know how to install wizardpen drivers for your Tablets and mousepen in plain and easy steps.

Wizardpen drivers are meant for following pen tablets. They are as following
# Acecad Flair II GT-504
# DigiPro 5.5×4” Graphics Tablet
# Digital Ink Pad (A4 format)
# G-pen
# Genius Wizardpen
# Genius Mousepen
# Genius
# iBall
# Manhattan
# Pentagram
# QWare
# Trust TB-3100
# Trust TB-5300
# Trust TB-6300
# iBall Tablet PF806
# AIPTEK HyperPen 10000 U ("UC-LOGIC TWA60")
# Medion MD 85673 USB Grafiktablett P82012
# Intellipen Pro(EPOS EPOS Pen Digitizer)
# NGS Draw Master Tablet (UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U)

1.The first step is to download the driver. You can download it from here. You can find this at the bottom of this post

Please download this to your desktop.

2.Extract the files in the folder by double clicking on it. You can either use Ark or Archive manager for that. Please extract these files to desktop.

3.Retrieve the developmental packages by using the following command in the terminal. Open terminal by navigating to Applications---> tools---> Terminal
The command is

sudo aptitude install xutils libx11-dev libxext-dev build-essential \
xautomation xinput xserver-xorg-dev

4.Type the command
cd Desktop

5. Type the command
cd wizardpen-0.7.0-alpha2

6.Install the driver by the following command

./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib/xorg/modules
make && sudo make install

Check the integrity of the driver installation by typing the command.

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*

It should give you the output as following

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.so
Well the first part is over.

7. Type the following command in the terminal to know the make of the Pentablet.

grep -i name /proc/bus/input/devices
Please note down the make of the tablet which you have to use in the next step.

8.Create a new .fdi file by using the following command in terminal

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

Press 'I' so that INSERT appears

9. Paste the following template in the terminal

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>


<match key="info.product" contains="NAME OF YOUR TABLET">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>




<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>

Please insert the name of your tablet where i have highlighted in red. This you can do by moving the cursor in the terminal with arrow keys.
Click Esc and type :wq and press Enter to save the file you have created.

Reboot your machine. It should work.

In case if it is not working(which occurs rarely), You can try by adding two more lines in the .fdi file
For editing enter the command

gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

The two lines of code which may help you has to be added above the line which appears as '</match>'. The code is as follows

<merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>

I acknowledge the help of Favux and give credit to him who helped me a lot to install the wizardpen driver.

Tested and it works correctly in Karmic.

Can I also mention that you may need to calibrate your tablet - this is done by editing the various x and y values in the .fdi document. The following calibrations are taken directly from the Ubuntu Wizardpen wiki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen.

Hi
Let me know whether your cursor movement is stalled in GIMP alone and working fine in all other programmes.

Let me also have a look at .fdi file, and its location

My tablet doesent semm to work generally ,i could only get it working with the calibrate tool.

No programm detects movement or presure......(exept wizardpen-calibrate).

It gets recognized as input on gimp ,inkspace and blender ,but the is no action or movement . Only it recognizes the touch of the pen and simulates a MMB click but the movement does nothing.

Hi overloader

Let us go step by step from the beginning.

First step check whether the driver is installed properly. To check this, type the command

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*
It should give you following output in your terminal namely this

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.so
If you are getting this output then we can be sure that your driver installation is correct. If not, download the driver from my thread and install it accordingly.

Second step: If your driver installation is fine then your problem might be lurking in your .fdi.
Well i noticed that the name of your tablet which you have mentioned in your .fdi seems to be incomplete. To know the name of your tablet please check by using the command

grep -i name /proc/bus/input/devices
The name of your tablet should match exactly what is produced from the above command. For eg my tablet is WP5540U, But the name of the tablet according to the above command was 'UC logic WP5540U'. So please check out the name of your tablet once again.

Let me know your outcome
Best of luck
Dr Kurian

OK, so I'm stuck at the calibration thing. I honestly have no clue what to do now. How do I edit the .fdi file? Where do I put the whole parameter data? I'm not into programming, and I'm kinda new to using Ubuntu, but I sure want to have a Tablet with pressure sensibility, because I'm getting quite pissed off at my own incompatibility with this whole problem. Could anyone help me out?

Hi Knyazzz
Well It is understood that your driver is installed properly.

I think your problem might be in .fdi file.
Well please do the following
1. Please edit the whole .fdi file by typing the following command

gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

2. Paste the following passage in your .fdi file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>


<match key="info.product" contains="UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U">

drpjkurian So far so good... however, after some toying lastnight, I noticed that the center of the tablet is not center on the screen in ubuntu.

I tried playing with the TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY, MaxX, MaxY Paramaters, but it didn't seem to make things better or worse.

Not sure if screen resolution matters, it doesn't seem to as my debian laptop has 1280x1024, while my ubuntu laptop has 800x600 on an external screen.

Center of the screen compared to center of the tablet is way off, center on the screen = 4th icon left, 2nd Icon down on the tablet.

If this is fixable, it would be great!

I'd also recommend that the Z paramaters be added into the Xorg Config for the WP8060U because without it, the pen will cause movement even an inch over the tablet.

Thanks in advance!

Place the whole parameter data in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

Hope I have answered all your questions

So then it doesn't matter where the parameters go inside the file itself? I put them just above the </match> part. I double checked that I have the correct device name at the right place and that I used the right parameters for that device. I have a UC-Logic Tablet W8060U, so I guess it should work, and it woks fine, too, except I can't get any pressure sensibility out of it. Tried different programs as well, such as: Gimp, Pencil and Flash 8 under Wine.

Hi, Im having problems installing a Genius PenSketch 9x12 tablet but the only thing working is the mouse buttons on the cordless mouse that came with it... The mouse doesn't pick up movement and the pen doesn't work

I followed the instructions on the Tablet Setup Wizardpen Howto

cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
9x12 Tablet
EHCI Host Controller
OHCI Host Controller

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*

N: Name="Macintosh mouse button emulation"
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
N: Name=" 9x12 Tablet"
N: Name="PC Speaker"
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"

And the .fdi file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>


<match key="info.product" contains="9x12 Tablet">

And dmesg output

But the funny thing is before i went through the how to the mouse was working fine but the pen wasn't

Hi Kensav

You can insert these options to enable MAX and MIN pressure sensitivity:
Option "TopZ" "10" Option "BottomZ" "511" Option "MaxZ" "511"
Where "TopZ" represents the lowest pressure-level to accept, and "BottomZ"/"MaxZ" represents the maximum pressure-level to accept.

Did you try this.
Please let me know

drpjkurian So far so good... however, after some toying lastnight, I noticed that the center of the tablet is not center on the screen in ubuntu.

I tried playing with the TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY, MaxX, MaxY Paramaters, but it didn't seem to make things better or worse.

Not sure if screen resolution matters, it doesn't seem to as my debian laptop has 1280x1024, while my ubuntu laptop has 800x600 on an external screen.

Center of the screen compared to center of the tablet is way off, center on the screen = 4th icon left, 2nd Icon down on the tablet.

If this is fixable, it would be great!

I'd also recommend that the Z paramaters be added into the Xorg Config for the WP8060U because without it, the pen will cause movement even an inch over the tablet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi
Please give a try to this instructions

1.Execute the following command: lshal | less
2.Search the section with the name of your tablet, as obtained from Step 2 in the configuration step. The line should read something like: info.product = '[Name of your tablet]'
3.Scroll down until you find the following line: linux.device_file = '/dev/input/eventN' (N will a number)
4.The source package contains a program called 'wizardpen-calibrate', which is in the 'calibrate' folder, which actually echoes the appropriate X11 calibration settings
5.Using a terminal/console, execute the calibration program: calibrate/wizardpen-calibrate /dev/input/eventN (*Note: Subtitute /dev/input/eventN with the one obtained from Step 3)
6.Follow the instructions issued by the program, which will ask you to touch the top-left corner and bottom-right corner. Once completed, the program will echo the corresponding xorg.conf setting
7.Edit the FDI file (/etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi) and subtitute the Top/Bottom/MaxX and Top/Bottom/MaxY values to the one obtained from the wizardpen-calibrate command
8.Once done, restart your computer and test your tablet (UPDATE: Noy noted in the comments that you don't have to restart, but rather unplug and replug the tablet for the new settings to take effect.

I got these from digital blue wave

Best of luck

linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/usb/hiddev0' (string)

I'm not sure which of these to use, also, will this 'event' or 'hiddev' always be the same numeric? IE will the tablet _always_ be /dev/input/event8 in this case (because I'm not sure it is) or will hiddev for this device always be hiddev0?

While I wait for your reply, I'm going to try both and see what I get.

4.The source package contains a program called 'wizardpen-calibrate', which is in the 'calibrate' folder, which actually echoes the appropriate X11 calibration settings
5.Using a terminal/console, execute the calibration program: calibrate/wizardpen-calibrate /dev/input/eventN (*Note: Subtitute /dev/input/eventN with the one obtained from Step 3)
6.Follow the instructions issued by the program, which will ask you to touch the top-left corner and bottom-right corner. Once completed, the program will echo the corresponding xorg.conf setting
7.Edit the FDI file (/etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi) and subtitute the Top/Bottom/MaxX and Top/Bottom/MaxY values to the one obtained from the wizardpen-calibrate command
8.Once done, restart your computer and test your tablet (UPDATE: Noy noted in the comments that you don't have to restart, but rather unplug and replug the tablet for the new settings to take effect.

I did this previously (the make/make install), and got the same output you guys gave for the WP8060U when I did the calibration. I even tried to make the area larger than what had been given after calibration, it did not change.

Also, one last note, you need to 'make clean' before you 'make && sudo make install', it looks like it wasn't made clean before being packaged up for distribution, otherwise you get the error 'No target for "build"'

Thanks again.

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.

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.

Unfortunately I went in weird panic after rebooting and seeing that all of my desktop was messed up!!!

At the beginning, the desktop didn't load. So I rebooted and my panels disappeared, no right mouse click, just the possibility of rebooting.

So, after a couple of reboots, I decided to change my desktop resolution (downgraded and upgraded it) and the situation got considerably better. The situation was completely restored at the following reboot.

I just installed the same tablet on another Ubuntu 9.10 PC and it did not mess up my desktop.
Maybe because of the different video card.
My "messing" one is Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07).

I forgot to check the type of the "non messing" video card.

Hey everything works just fine!
Had to compile from source, the package is i386 and I'm amd_64... I'm used to Slakware & Gentoo, so that's no problem.

The problem I'm having is that I have a dual screen setup and of course the tablet runs across both screens, naturally. This however BADLY messes up the aspect ratio, both screens are 1920x1080.

I'm looking for a way to constrain the tablet to one screen only. The aspect ratio still won't be perfect, but it'll be a *whole lot better* :)

Now that xorg has gone to the whole dynamic loading, I really don't know what to change; I've spent way too long in windows the last couple years...

(and don't get me started about how KDE doesn't like dual monitors... -> technically, kubuntu)

Google has lots of answers for a WACOM tablet, using wacom programs which obviously won't work here.

Any ideas?

Hi Thomas

Hmmm....., This seems to be beyond my capacity to solve it. Well... How about discussing this issue with Favux ? He is better than me in solving tablet issues.

I "fixed" it by setting the calibration numbers to correspond to the (double) screen ratio.
Sucks because I can only use a quarter of the pad to write on.

But the aspect ratio is spot on ;)

I'm having problems getting my tablet to act like the same screen size. One laptop runs 1280x1024, the other is 800x600 or 1024x768, both of them lock the tablets space in about 3 inches wide by 2 inches high, leaving the rest of the tablet to put the mouse off screen. I tried working with the x,y paramaters in both the .fdi and the xorg config, but no matter what numbers I've set here I cannot get this to change.

One system is debian lenny [which btw, this all works on]

The other is ubuntu hardy.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dr Kurian, Thomas the Solitary, and gaintsura,

Has anyone tried the "ScreenX" and "ScreenY" settings yet?

Thomas the Solitary would try:

<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenX" type="string">1920</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenY" type="string">1080</merge>
Added under the last tablet coordinate line:

<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">32762</merge>
And gaintsura would use:

<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenX" type="string">1280</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenY" type="string">1024</merge>
and the for the other laptop it would depend on the resolution.

To check on the screen coordinates (dimensions) the wizardpen driver sees try entering in a terminal:

xinput list Tablet

If that does map the tablet to the screen you could vary it a little to get the aspect ratio "spot on".

Well, unfortunately, to no avail; I have not gotten any of the settings on my tablet to get my tablet to the right resolution or center properly. I've included my fdi and xorg, I did modify the input information because I found that this information is actually created when the device is there, but not there when it is not and seems much more reliable than a /dev/input/eventX to determine if the device exits.

None of this seems to actually help the situation. Center is still 2 inches down and 3 inches in on the tablet. End of screen to end of tablet is about center on the tablet.

Also note that in an effort to fix this. I did change the X,Y settings by adding a 0 to the end of the digits to see if this might fix the problem, however it did not.

Does the Z value accept negative numbers? even at '10' the pen is still about 2/3 inches above the tablet before it activates, I thought the tablet was suppose to be touched, which I assume means negative numbers now?

Dr Kurian,

I am using this tablet on two different systems, one has a resolution of 1280x800, the other is 800x600. I also made the same changes (but used 800 and 600) on my second system, this also did not work on that system.

System one has the settings I pasted above (using 1280x800)

Thanks.

Need to get 3,721kB of archives. After unpacking 10.4MB will be used.

before installing wizardpen-0.7.0-alpha2.

Also, take in account that after installing those packages and rebooting the system I had some video problems, as described before in this thread.
Actually I suppose I should run 'sudo make uninstall' into the wizardpen folder, then remove that folder and eventually remove all of those packages through Synaptic.

I'm afraid to run into video problems once more, this time because of uninstalling. That's why I'm waiting for some suggestion before making some mess.

Thanks for your time.

Hi gaintsura and Tony Flury,

You both are indicating that you have, in addition to the 99-x11-wizardpen.fdi, a xorg.conf configuring your tablet. You should use one or the other. While you can theoretically use both, in practice it tends not to work so well.

The xorg.conf is executed after the .fdi and since it is last it's settings should control. So changes made in the .fdi will/can be overridden. Since both of you are making the ScreenX or Y changes in the .fdi but not the xorg.conf that may be the problem. Although since there are no Screen entries in the xorg.conf's the entries in the .fdi should theoretically apply.

Part of my problem I think I have is that each time i plug in the tablet or restart Linux I get a new /dev/input/event<xx>

Which means that the tablet tends to stop working and i need to recalibrate.

So is there anyway of making this permanent.

Favux

Hi gaintsura and Tony Flury,

Well the .fdi should handle that automatically.

To do it through the xorg.conf you have to use the actual usb pci by-path or construct a symlink rule to add to “/etc/udev/rules.d/” (the old location). Which is where custom rules are suppose to go, not in "/lib/udev/rules.d/"

Otherwise you are correct. Event numbers can change.

Hi Tony
Please overhaul your.fdi file by using the command

gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

Delete everything and paste the following text in it

<match key="info.product" contains="UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U">

Let me know the outcome
Dr Kurian

Adding in those two lines effectively disabled the tablet completely. I was able to use calibrate (so something was working), but the tablet stopped moving the mouse pointer.

I am not sure which line is the problem - but I note that the SendCoreEvents is a duplicate - is that the problem ?

Also, take in account that after installing those packages and rebooting the system I had some video problems, as described before in this thread.
Actually I suppose I should run 'sudo make uninstall' into the wizardpen folder, then remove that folder and eventually remove all of those packages through Synaptic.

I'm afraid to run into video problems once more, this time because of uninstalling. That's why I'm waiting for some suggestion before making some mess.

Thanks for your time.

Ok - following advice elsewhere in this thread - I have gone with an FDI only solution - and got rid of the Section in xorg.conf. I know that the device works - i can calibrate it each time i boot without a problem - I just can't get the Tablet to consistently move the mouse cursor at all - as i type this the tablet is not recognised as a mouse.

either including (or not) the stylus line in the fdi file has made no difference.

SO where else do i need to look to ensure that the config is right and that I can get this tablet working consistently.

Any help would be appreciated - I have tried to follow all the advice in this thread - and to be honest the only time it sort of worked was when i had both the fdi and the xorg.conf at the same time (but then I was limited to the tope 1/4 of the tablet).

Favux

January 14th, 2010, 05:21 PM

Hi Tony Flury,

Alright, let's see what's happening with the wizardpen driver. Assuming your using the .fdi in post #68 please attach the ouput of the following:

xinput --list

lshal>TonyFlury_lshal.txt
And the Xorg.0.log in /var/log/.

The lshal and Xorg.0.log will be too large to upload through Manage Attachments so right click on them and compress them with Create Archive.

Hi manolomanolo,

It looks like you're having a problem with your Intel video chipset. You could probably find a fix for that. There's a couple good threads for that.

In the unpacked wizardpen-0.7.0-alpha2 "sudo ./uninstall". And then remove the dependency packages through Synaptic Package Manager or "sudo aptitude remove etc.".

Tony Flury

January 15th, 2010, 09:44 AM

OK - I just plugged the tablet back in - and now it moves the mouse - although only the top left corner of the tablet is available.

I attach an archive of the relevant fdi and diagnostic files. The dimensions in the fdi are those derived from an earlier calibration.

I just want to say that I am incredibly impressed by the contributors to this thread who seem to me to be displaying exactly the Ubuntu ethos, and going the extra mile to help solve the wide variety of challenges that people are facing.

Hi Tony Flury,

Are you using Hardy Heron (8.04)? That's what I'm seeing in your Xorg.0.log. Because it says:

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90
Release Date: 5 September 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2)
Current Operating System: Linux laptop 2.6.24-26-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 18:37:31 UTC 2009 i686
Build Date: 13 June 2008 01:08:21AM

I had thought your info. on the side just wasn't updated and you're actually in Karmic or maybe Jaunty. But looking over your posts I don't see that you've really said what you are using.

If you are using Hardy the "mystery" is solved and we can probably get you setup.

Tony Flury

January 16th, 2010, 04:06 PM

Yes - still on Hardy 8.04.

Favux

January 16th, 2010, 05:05 PM

Hi Tony,

OK. With Hardy you have to use the xorg.conf. So the first thing you need to do is to remove the .fdi.

You can use the xorg.conf with the other releases too if you want. Intrepid is the first release you can use the .fdi with.

One of the reasons for the switch to HAL/.fdi is to support usb hot plugging. So with the xorg.conf you do not get hot plugging. However there is a method that may give you pseudo hot plugging. First, after you've plugged in, ctrl-alt-F1 followed by ctrl-alt-F7. That works for a lot of usb devices and hopefully will work with your tablet.

I've attached a xorg.conf that should work. Notice that it has a WizardPen line in "ServerLayout". That's what you were missing. As always back up your current working xorg.conf and be prepared to restore it from the command line in case X doesn't start. If you don't know how to do that just ask. Leave the tablet plugged in when you reboot for now until you know the xorg.conf works.

Good luck!

Tony Flury

January 16th, 2010, 07:07 PM

Favux,

ok - I have removed the fdi - and installed the xorg.conf you sent me - just done a diff between the file you sent and the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and there are no differences.

The laptop starts ok - and the tablet is listed in lshal.

I can calibrate the tablet - on /dev/input/event9 - but the tablet wont move the mouse cursor - and nothing is listed in "xinput list".

I am struggling with how to diagnose the problem - where do i look now ?

Favux

January 16th, 2010, 11:03 PM

Hi Tony,

OK, the line in "ServerLayout" should make the tablet section "active". So now we need to look at the wizardpen driver, which means we need to look at the Xorg.0.log again. I think your last one was truncated near the end just where we would have seen any driver errors listed.

Were there any errors when you compiled?

Tony Flury

January 17th, 2010, 12:16 AM

No compiler errors - and as I say I think the driver is fine as I can calibrate the tablet.

just looked at Xorg0.log and there is no reference to /dev/input/event9 - which is the dev that the tablet is mounted on right now - not sure if there should be.

I do get this though

tony@laptop:~$ grep -i wizard /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(II) LoadModule: "wizardpen"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wizardpen_drv.so

(EE) WizardPen Tablet: unable to find device

(II) evaluating device (WizardPen Tablet)
tony@laptop:~$

So for some reason it can't find the device - although it is loading the driver - which is odd ?

Your right, that is odd. I'd appreciate seeing the whole Xorg.0.log.

Try in a terminal:

Make sure the usb cable is seated firmly on both ends and boot with it connected.

Hi Tony,

Your right, that is odd. I'd appreciate seeing the whole Xorg.0.log.

Try in a terminal:

dmesg | grep wizardpen

I have just rebooted :

I get no output from the dmesg - but interestingly

[ 36.808178] input: UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.2/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input11

So that implies to me that the hardware is plugged in correctly

Also :

tony@laptop:~$ grep -i wizard /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(EE) WizardPen Tablet: unable to find device

(II) evaluating device (WizardPen Tablet)

Make sure the usb cable is seated firmly on both ends and boot with it connected.

The fact i can calibrate the tablet - and i get the demsg output above suggests that it is not connectivity.

Worryingly even though I am running Hardy Heron - the tablet was working with the fdi file in place, ever since deleting the fdi file, I have not had any function.

The error message looks something like the ones in troubleshooting here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpenHardy173 Really the only difference I can see is by following Dr. Kurian's HOW TO you've added x-dev to the dependencies.

Tony Flury

January 17th, 2010, 01:31 AM

I rebuilt the drivers according to this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpenHardy173 - and rebooted.

I previously did not have x-dev installed - and I now do -
I am still getting the same messages in both dmesg and Xorg0.log - the only difference is of course the device is now /dev/input/event3.

Favux

January 17th, 2010, 01:39 AM

I don't think so, I think you should see the wizardpen.ko in dmesg. I think you may be dealing with another driver (probably mouse or touchpad), I guess through HAL(?), which I thought wasn't active in Hardy. So I'm confused. I think you're looking at basic support through the usb hid portion of the kernel and another driver, not the wizardpen driver. I don't think your compile worked. That's why I'd like to see the entire Xorg.0.log.

I'm sitting here wondering if Hardy 8.04-4 now has some HAL support?

Tony Flury

January 17th, 2010, 12:37 PM

Believe me - as far as I can tell the compile worked :-0

and the Xorg.0.log reports loading the module ok - suggesting no problems with the module.

I attach my Xorg0.log.

Hi Tony,

Maybe you need a udev rule? Open up Synaptics Package Manager and search 'xorg'. What we want to find out is is your version before or after version 1.7.3. The Xorg.0.log says your Xserver is:

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90
Release Date: 5 September 2007
It'll look something like:

xorg 1:7.3~ubunut etc. X.Org X Window System
Need to know the exact number.

The other option would seem to be the newest driver doesn't work with Hardy and we need an older one? I haven't seen anything about that.

Hi Tony,

OK, I'm not sure what this is telling us: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpenHardy173 It's at:

Setting up your tablet

General information
It looks to me like it is saying for your Xorg version you do need a udev rule. But when I go to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen I don't see a udev rule. But what I do see is a .fdi(?) along with xorg.conf settings. But when I look at "For an *ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)-version, see TabletSetupWizardpenGutsy" I find the udev rule. It's under "Setting up udev (If the tablet is USB)" and basically looks right. Maybe not the location I'd place it or exactly how I'd do it, but OK.

It seems like that's what you need but I admit to being confused and uncertain what to tell you. Is the newer driver suppose to handle this or is this the problem with it on your Hardy?

Tony Flury

January 17th, 2010, 06:43 PM

well the only time i got anything to work was with an fdi in place - but then i could not get full movement on the tablet (only the top left 1/4 was active), so i will re-instate the fdi (as well as xorg) and see where that gets me.

stll not sure how to get the tablet to work over its full area.

I would agree that the instructions are not exactly clear - the way i read it is that on 1.73 and above i don't need UDEV - but it does not say that explicitly. The pages say about being before 1.73 - or after 1.73 - but not what happens when you have 1.73.

It seems that there is no problem with compiling but with something else. Do you have any hint on this one? BTW i am using Kubuntu 9.10 64-bit.

Hi!
Please help
What is code of 99-x11-wizardpen.fdi ? My tablet genius g-pen 560

Hi
I did not understand your question

January 29th, 2010, 06:22 PM

drpjkurian, thanks for your reply. I have been waiting for it for two weeks :) and I am very glad that eventually it is my turn to get help! Thank you!:KS

As I show in my original post, I did not use Synaptic to install the driver
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8640613&postcount=61

so I have just tried to look for "wizard" in Synaptic but no package was selected and consequently removable, as I expected.

Is there another way to remove this driver and all the stuff I've been installing as shown in the post of above?

Thank you again!

Hi
I am still searching. I will definitely inform you when i get it

Hi Dr. Kurian and favux

You people are really quite helpful as it looks! great job

I just want to tell that I have done what the tablesetupwizardpen had to tell.
I created fdi file that is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version=”0.2”>
<device>

<match key="info.product" contains="UC-LOGIC WP5540U">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
<merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopX" type="string">2199</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopY" type="string">3598</merge>

<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">29278</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

and I also edited xorg.conf to include
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "WizardPen Tablet"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Name" "UC-LOGIC tablet WP5540U"
Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event"
Option "TopX" "2199"
Option "TopY" "3598"
Option "BottomX" "30325"
Option "BottomY" "29278"
Option "MaxX" "30325"
Option "MaxY" "29278"
EndSection
InputDevice "WizardPen Tablet" "AlwaysCore"

I don't understand what server layout is.... so what they told to do in serverlayout I did like this..
What happens is it doesnot detect movements from pen as well as mouse..
I don't have any output in case of grep -i wizard /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I don't have any idea how to move forward..

one more thing..
the out put of this command..
cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
USB2.0-CRW
Tablet WP5540U
EHCI Host Controller

I'm using xubuntu, with a Trust TB-6300, it's working fine except for the pressure sensitivity.

I was following the set up instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

All going well until it instructed me to edit the xorg.conf, which appears to be absent, is this a peculiarity of the Xfce environment? (i'm not too familiar with it)

Any suggestions?

Hi Apamak
Please note that the later portion of that help.ubuntu page is pretty outdated. Well regarding your problem I think, After the advent of .fdi file, the method of xorg.conf has brcome obsolte.
I think I am right

February 16th, 2010, 05:22 PM

Well that shows how long it's been since I last used ubuntu to any great length, any idea about the pressure sensitivity? Does the Z-axis need to be defined in the fdi file or elsewhere?

EDIT: Sorted, just didn't have GIMP set up properly,

February 21st, 2010, 06:25 PM

failed to make my G-Pen 560 work. after all actions I can move cursor in wrong area in top left part of the screen (and bottom right part of the tablet). calibration ran fine.
I think the problem in my xorg.conf file, it does not contain ServerLayout section, and when I try to add it, the system loads in low-graphics mode. here is the xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "G-Pen"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-KYE_SYSTEM_Corp._G-Pen-event-if00"
Option "TopX" "81"
Option "TopY" "295"
Option "BottomX" "11999"
Option "BottomY" "8999"
Option "MaxX" "11999"
Option "MaxY" "8999"
EndSection

so how should I add ServerLayout section?

Hi
After yhe advent of .fdi, The tablet and the machine communucate through .fdi
In your .fdi please edit the following line
<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenX" type="string">1920</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenY" type="string">1080</merge>
The numbers in red should correspond to your resolution.I think it should solve your problem

Favux

February 22nd, 2010, 10:48 PM

Hi whitered,

Based on your xorg.conf so far and the fact that you chose "G-Pen" as the identifier it should look like:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "G-Pen" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
You can add it below the rest of the stuff. You were probably leaving out the video lines.

A sample xorg.conf is on this thread at post #74.

February 23rd, 2010, 12:52 PM

Thank you Favux. I've found that there is duplicate data in xorg.conf and 99-x11-wizardpen.fdi files. I restored the original xorg.conf and changed the .fdi file to make it correspond the calibrate results, so everything works fine now.
The only thing I was unable to do is to make my pen buttons work. I've tryed
xinput set-buttons-map with no results.

Hi

Indeed it does. I have no idea where to start looking at. The first idea was that it might have something with audio configuration but I disregarded that option since system sounds, flash player, etc. are played without interference with WizardPen. Further on, only opening of Rhythmbox will knockout tablet after few seconds. Perhaps I might contact Rhythmbox develepers. :)

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.

Well I think the error 403 means that the server was down

Finaly something that works!!! Thank you very much. I have Genius M712X and this is how my 99-x11-wizardpen.fdi looks like. I added one line from the original file, since it was way to sensitive. Tried it with MyPaint and it worked like a charm :)

The wizardpen-calibrate didn't work for me so I just tried some settings and this is what I ended with, which works fine for me!

This is the line I added <merge key="input.x11_options.TopZ" type="string">64</merge>

I started with 512 in sensitivity and worked my way down until I was satisfied and ended in 64.

Hi
Well the wizardpen driver should definitely work with your machine.

Let us try to solve your problem in a systematic way. The problem should be in two areas namely the

1) Driver installation
2) .fdi file

1.To check the driver integrity, please give the output of the following command

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*

2.please paste your .fdi file.(While pasting your .fdi file,please paste it in between code tags. ie use the icon #)

rewrite it and fire your tablet....

1. please install Gvim text editor from Ubuntu software centre.

2. type the following command in terminal

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

3.Delete what is there in it

4.Press 'I' so that INSERT appears
Paste the following template in the terminal

Well that was a bit of a mission but I just got my tablet working under Kubuntu Lucid (x64). The driver would originally not compile until I applied a patch (see attachment wizardpenpatch.zip). To do this I just typed:

patch < xorg-x11-1.7.x-api-changes.patch

in the src directory of the wizardpen driver after extracting the patch file to the src directory. The driver then compiled and installed fine. Following that the driver would not work once the normal steps had been completed, pushing the pointer into the top left of the screen. Googling indicated that you need to do this :

Add the 70-wizardpen.conf in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ by typing:
sudo kate /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf and paste the following in.

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "TopX" "2199"
Option "TopY" "3598"
Option "BottomX" "30325"
Option "BottomY" "29278"
Option "TopZ" "10"
Option "BottomZ" "1023"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver ""
EndSection

save the file and reboot.

This lets the correct driver be used, and after rebooting it all worked fine.

Hi. I installed wizardpen in Karmic from source and I would like to ininstalle here in Lucid.

How can I uninstall wizardpen?

Thanks.

Jontom

May 10th, 2010, 12:12 PM

I assume you mean you upgraded from karmic, anyway, you shouldn't really need to uninstall, just follow the steps and the wizardpen drivers should be overwritten.

manolomanolo

May 10th, 2010, 12:30 PM

Jontom, thanks for your reply.

You are right, I upgraded from Karmic.
I just want to remove the drivers since I do not have the device anymore.

So, again, how to remove those drivers here in Lucid taking in account that I installed them from source when I was in karmic?

Thanks.

Jontom

May 10th, 2010, 03:41 PM

Well uninstalling them wont really do much other than free up a few kb, but you can delete the drivers in:

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.so

by typing sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la
etc

sudo make uninstall in the source directory may also work, but I am no expert.

Hi Fady fod
Thanks for your comments
Please try the following instruction, Which is last shot I can give but worth giving a try

You can try by adding two more lines in the .fdi file
For editing enter the command

gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
The two lines of code which may help you has to be added above the line which appears as '</match>'. The code is as follows

<merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>

This is somehow not working for me...I have a i5 750 machine with GTX 470. I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04...tablet is detected but the cursor remains on the top left corner. Touching the pen opens Application Menu that is all it does. Please suggest.

Hi,

I am quite new to this, but i was trying to do everything I can to make Genius EasyPen i450 work properly....but always i end up at the point, when the cursor ends in the left upper corner and dont move anywhere else (the button works fine thought :) )
Anybody have any other ideas?

Thx for everything....

if you are running 10.4 (lucid) you no longer need to edit fdi files, all you need to do is install the driver from the ppa and then if you want adjust a file to suit your needs, see here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8515936&postcount=1)

I have had my tablet running for a couple of weeks on 64bit lucid and had no issues with it, I don't know about the pressure sensitivity in photoshop under wine, but I have cs2 running on a virtual machine and I seem to get pressure sensitivity on that, as well as elements.

I would also recommend removing all aspects of the wizardpen driver before trying the steps in the post I linked to, also you should check in synaptic for xserver-xorg-input-wacom this gets installed by default for me, it may be the same for others, you can remove it and the other package that it says will also be removed as well.

I infact started with adding ppa to the repository and then installing the driver, but nothing happened...it stays at the right corner. I have given up hope on this matter...:(

have you looked at the launchpad page for wizardpen ? there was a bug on there that kept the cursor in the top left, but its fixed now, at least for genius tablets I guess, I would have thought it would also be fixed for others, which version of ubuntu are you using ?

launchpad bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/wizardpen/+bug/526003

if you arent having any luck I would recommend posting a bug on launchpad under the wizardpen section.

Hi
I also have the same problem of cursor stucking in the left corner. But the solution mentioned in the launchpad did not solve my problem, Instead I lost my keypad function. I had to rewrite my xorg.config

June 18th, 2010, 09:28 AM

I'm beginning to think this is a specific tablet issue, all the iball tablets seem to have the same issue, the genius ones seem to be fine (at least from what I can tell) by specific I mean there seems to be something about this tablet that operates in a slightly different way to the genius tablets, although I'm stuffed if I know what the difference is.

I shouldn't really comment as I'm using linux mint at the moment, fancied a change (and it's not that different to ubuntu anyway) but I installed the wizardpen driver this morning and it runs fine, no issues, which again points at there being a slight difference in the operation of the 2 tablet makes.

Again all I can suggest is post a bug report on launchpad and include your xorg logs.

Hi,

I'm beginning to think this is a specific tablet issue, all the iball tablets seem to have the same issue: i.e. "cursor stuck in the left corner"
That's exactly the sort of thing DoctorMO is trying to get feedback from testers on to improve the driver. See: https://launchpad.net/~wizardpen-testers

Hello,
I use lucid lynx (amd64, cleanly updated), with a genius tablet which by typing :

cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
is detected as :

Tablet WP5540U
I installed the driver with apt-get using the ppa indicated in the tutorial from the doc (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen) (from ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen)
I restarted and the cursor moves but it seems to jump between 2 positions fast and hence isn't usable at all.
To be clearer, here's an example of what I got with GIMP while trying to trace a simple strait line :
http://carriernicolas.open-web.fr/ressources/images/externe/bug_tablette.png
:confused:
Do you have any idea of what I can do ? Does anybody experiments the same bug ?
Thank you !

I have just bought the Trust 1526 tablet and it does not work at all. When I started the computer it did originally light up the led and immediately go out, and it did not react to the pen. That has not changed since I have installed the wizardpen drivers.

Can anyones please suggest what I have done wrongly?

I have followed the advice here except I am using the synaptic version of wizardpen in Lucid.

I can see from the following it is properly installed:

rob@rob-desktop:~$ ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*

PS
Is it possible the failure is to do with my upgrading to Lucid rather than a fresh install? I am wondering if I am still using Xorg and thus it needs adjusting as well.

huit_six

June 26th, 2010, 07:39 AM

Well the problem seems to be solved. But it's quite weird.
I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (generated by the installation of ATI proprietary driver, and edited automatically by the installation of wizardpen driver) and commented the line
InpudDevice "Wizardpen Tablet" "AlwaysCore"
in the ServerLayout section. and after reloading gdm, it worked. It seems like the tablet was detected two times, with 2 different calibrations, hence my problem.

Favux

June 26th, 2010, 09:07 AM

Hi huit_six,

Interesting. "AlwaysCore" and "SendCoreEvent" are obsolete with Lucid's Xserver 1.7. But that's the first time I've seen it cause a problem. You can just remove them, like you did.

Robbyx

June 26th, 2010, 04:43 PM

Any chance of a reply to my message no 187?

I have looked in the xorg.conf and their is no mention of wizardpen.

Hello Favux,
Thank you for the information, so it could be a bug from the installer of the proprietary ATI driver ? I have to add that it's a fresh Lucid install.

I think I will try to move the xorg.conf to see if the tablet works well, but I fear that my dual screen will not work.
I'll see it when i'll be back home.

@Robbyx : Don't have any solution but you could try to launch a lucid live cd and install the tablet to see if it works and if the problem comes from the fact that you upgraded rather than fresh installed.

I recently switched from ubuntu 9 to 10.04 by installing in a new partition. These install instructions worked fine on 9 and I am attempting to replicate the results on 10.

However, after this line

./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib/xorg/modules
make && sudo make install
It produces the following errors at the bottom of the output.
I simply don't know where to go from here. I've googled the errors only to find people not experiencing the same thing.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Should I be downloading the deb file from that link and using the deb installer, or downloading the file and using the directions on this forum with the new version instead of the old?

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Trust TB-6300 (internal "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U") to run on Debian Squeeze and one of my problems is that all instructions I found are for some Ubuntu version rather than for some xorg/udev/whatever version.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log says:

(II) config/udev: Adding input device "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U" (/dev/input/event3)

(--) "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP8060U": top X=0 top Y=0 bottom X=16000 bottom Y=12000 resol X=1016 resol Y=1016
This is strange for two reasons: it uses the driver "wacom" while it should use "wizardpen". And it does not configure /dev/input/mouse1 as a mouse (which I think it should). As far as I understand it, the driver should (in my case still) be determined by /lib/udev/rules.d/67-xorg-wizardpen.rules which reads:

# to configure the active area, pressure sensitivity and other settings see
# /etc/udev/rules.d/70-xorg-wizardpen-settings.rules

Ok, now I upgraded xorg and it seems to notice the file

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf

I am now in the state that is already richly documented: cursor stays in the upper left corner. Is it correct that this has not yet been resolved?

Edit: setting MaxX etc. in /etc/X11/xorg.conf worked.

Hi guys, I'm a Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx newbie and I had the exact same problem as enixon: Despite my following the instructions the 0.7.0 driver simply wouldn't install and would spew (an identical) screenful of error messages. In the end I found the advice here at page 20 of the thread: I manually installed the 0.7.3 version from https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/xorg-wizardpen/+files/xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen_0.7.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb and it worked wonders. Yahoo!
(Although I wonder...shouldn't adding the PPA: doctorMO thingy to Software Sources and reloading have done the same thing? Coz it certainly didn't.)
Thanks a bunch! :KS I wish installing the driver weren't such a tiresome experience...having to rake for some bits of useful info in the forums and such :-(

I've installed the new drivers zuzkafuska mentioned on 10.10. I currently have a tablet which works but only moves the mouse when I touch it as apposed to hover over the tablet with the pen. The buttons work, Just this one little detail to fix. Is there a calibration process for these new drivers I can use?
Thanks for your time.

That's more than I had under 10.10 all I got was the cursor moving to the top left all the time, different tablet though.
As far as I know it's not fixed yet ? but then the rc for 10.10 isn't out yet.

Hey there,

I've got a genius G-Pen F350 and i've managed to get it working well(almost). It tracks nicely and was properly calibrated from the get-go. The buttons work, but there is something strange happening.

the cursor can be moved until a any of the buttons (or the nib) is used to click on something, at which point the cursor will stay in place.
Keeping the button pressed down and moving the stylus will drag whatever you clicked on until the button is released, at which point the cursor stops responding to the stylus movements.

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.

There are a few other guys i've seen with the same problem with this tablet, and any help would be appreciated.

Oh, i'm using 10.04, and the 9.04 'fix' doesn't seem to work.

Thanks, :)
Tango91

EDIT: 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'm not sure quite why this is favoured over the device name in this field, as specified in the howto, but it seems to work now. I've been playing with it for hours but apparently this was the magic combination.

i'll post the entirety of my 70-wizardpen.conf just in case anyone is in a similar situation.

Hi!

I just installed the wizardpen driver (from ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen) for 10.10 (x86_64). It works fine, but it killed the splashscreen/upstart

It just falls back to a regular linux login prompt. When i log in and run 'sudo service gdm start' from there I get a regular gdm login-screen and the tablet (a UC-Logic clone branded by Trust) works perfectly.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong or how to fix?

Many TIA!

Hi Dr. Kurian,

I have installed WP8060U iball tablet on ubuntu and it is working fine. I want the pen to work on a specific application. Is this possible to do?
I have a browser based application and I want the pen to be active only in the writable area and should be inactive in other places. Basically i would like to map the tablet scope to a particular area in the screen. How do i go about?

Regards,
Radpal

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.

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

Hi Ethcelon,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

You don't mention what release of Ubuntu you are using. Is that because you're on a Debian release? I don't recognize that version of the WizardPen driver. Where did you get it from? You should be able to use DoctorMO's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/xorg-wizardpen

The error seems to be from a xorg-macros mismatch. For example the version is 1.5 in Lucid and some drivers now need version 1.8. In Ubuntu though the macros are in the xutils-dev package, so I'm not sure. You can get 1.8 directly from Xorg: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/util/util-macros-1.8.0.tar.bz2 If you use the:

./configure --prefix=/usr

flag when you compile it will install the macros in the correct /usr/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 directory.

I suppose it could just be a libtool mismatch so maybe try this first:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libtool

sudo apt-get upgrade

Hi Ethcelon

I’m under Debian Testing and, since the kernel was updated, I had to rebuild that driver… And I just run into the same error !

In fact, it seems the default configure script (built under ubuntu I guess) is not compatible with debian’s autotools version, so you just have to rebuild it by running
./autogen.sh (and then the standard make && su make install…).

However, I wonder why you stick to 0.3.8 ? I used 0.8.0 (trunk version), but you could at least use stable 0.7.4 !

Message deleted because it became irrelevant. I found pre-compiled drivers. My Digipro WP8060 drawing tablet works.

Works out of the box with Gimp, Pencil, Open Office Drawing, Agave, Inkscape, Krita, and Ktoon. No go on Blender, Scribus, but that may be just a configuration problem.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install a Genius EasyPen i405x on Ubuntu 10.4. Control of the position of the cursor is working fine, but the action of pressing with the pen on the tablet does not do what I would like it to. For instance, I cannot draw with gimp, pressure does nothing at all. Yet, under certain circumstances pressure does have an effect. For instance, I can use pressure to open the "System" menu usually appearing on the top of Ubuntu desktop, I can open Gimp, click on "File > Open" using pressure. But then things stop to work, I cannot click OK (although pressure "highlights" the button I want to click on), and then nothing happens when I try to draw something.

Under firefox, pressure has the effect of the "go back" button (while some button of the pen does the "go forward" button).

So my problem is this: how can I have my computer understand what I mean when I press on the tablet with the pen ?

I followed instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen, using "method 1" to install the driver. I think that driver installation went well, since

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*
gives what it should.

Then I messed up /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf, which at first looked like this :

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver ""
EndSection
to which i tried to add various things, ending up with something like this

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Genius_EasyPen_i405X-event-mouse"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "TopX" "2199"
Option "TopY" "3598"
Option "BottomX" "30325"
Option "BottomY" "29278"
Option "TopZ" "10"
Option "BottomZ" "1023"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Genius_EasyPen_i405X-mouse"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver ""
EndSection
But it did not change anything. I also tried to create some .fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, but if I understood correctly what people said here, I should not do this with my Ubuntu 10.4. In any case, it didn't work either.

So I'm coming short of ideas to solve the problem... Any sugestions ?

Maybe a look at the end of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log may help people :

Hi random_jc,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

According to your Xorg.0.log the tablet hasn't been matched to the WizardPen X driver:

(II) config/udev: Adding input device Genius EasyPen i405X (/dev/input/event6)
(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall"
(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: Applying InputClass "evdev tablet catchall"
(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: always reports core events
(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: Device: "/dev/input/event6"

Instead it has been picked up by the evdev X driver, specifically the "evdev tablet catchall" snippet.

Let's check your tablets vendor and product ID with:

lsusb
in a terminal. Post the output line with the tablet in it. Let's also see what keywords xinput is seeing and if they are the problem with the match. Run this command in a terminal.

xinput list
And post the output.

Sure. :)

It's a KYE:

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0458:5010 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)
And it looks like we need to add a keyword since we're seeing:

⎜ ↳ Genius EasyPen i405X id=10 [slave pointer (2)]

I guess i405X would be the most specific so then the 70-wizardpen.conf turns into something like this:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "WizardPen class"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|i405X|Ace Cad"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "WizardPen ignore mouse dev class"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|i405X|Ace Cad"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
Option "Ignore" "yes"
EndSection

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 06:58 AM

Hi,

I copy-pasted the 70-wizardpen.conf you proposed, but the behavior is unchanged. The lines you quoted from my Xorg.0.log in message #230 are still there, except that "event6" has changed for "event7".

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 07:04 AM

Well, I don't think it has any relevance at all, but after shuting down the computer completely and restarting it (instead of doing a "restart"), I got back to the "event6" version of Xorg.0.log.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 05:38 PM

Hi random_jc,

Yes, the event number can change which is why you want to match to event* rather than a specific event #.

Assuming the WizardPen driver installed correctly (although it is getting a little more likely there was a problem with that) then let's try:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "WizardPen class"
MatchIsTablet "on"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
MatchProduct "i405X"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "WizardPen ignore mouse dev class"
MatchIsTablet "on"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
MatchProduct "i405X"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
Option "Ignore" "yes"
EndSection
If we're lucky this will get the tablet on the WizardPen X driver and off the evdev driver.

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 06:59 PM

Hi,

so the new 70-wizardpen.conf you proposed changes a bit the effects of pressing and of the buttons, but not in the way we hope. In fact, pressing doesn't have any effect with the new version, while the behaviour of the buttons changed. Anyways, the Xorg.0.log continues to look like in message #230.

The first thing I did with the tablet was to plug it in, before installing any driver. Could it be that when plugged for the first time, it was matched permanently with the wrong driver ?

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 07:14 PM

Interesting thought, but no that isn't how it works. Can you give me a little more description. What did the stylus buttons start doing? And what does xinput list and:

xinput list-props "Genius EasyPen i405X"
look like?

I need to see you Xorg.0.log in case you missed something in the excerpt. Right click on it and compress it with Create Archive. Attach it to your next post with Manage Attachments below.

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 07:38 PM

One of the stylus buttons does a "middle click" and the other one a "right click". Here is the answer to the command you asked:

:~$ xinput list-props "Genius EasyPen i405X"
Device 'Genius EasyPen i405X':
Device Enabled (125): 1
Device Accel Profile (245): 0
Device Accel Constant Deceleration (246): 1.000000
Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (248): 1.000000
Device Accel Velocity Scaling (249): 10.000000

and attached is my Xorg.0.log.

Many thanks again.

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 07:43 PM

Well, in fact I was not correct when I said my Xorg.0.log did not change. It continues to contain

(**) Genius EasyPen i405X: Applying InputClass "evdev tablet catchall"

which I understood as the "very bad line", but after that you will see that things get quite different.

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 07:51 PM

To be sure, I tried again with the version you proposed in message #232. So I confirm that in this case, the extra lines appearing with the version of message #235 do not appear (in coherence with the fact that the behavior of the tablet is not changed). Sorry about my lack of precision.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 07:56 PM

No the line itself isn't bad it is just that it was the last line or driver matched and that was the evdev driver. The last thing matched controls.

The MatchProduct WizardPen .conf file did what we wanted. It matched to the WizardPen X driver:

Which all looks good. Aside from it complaining about the coordinates a little.

So do you still have a problem?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 08:11 PM

Yes, the problem is that pressure on the tablet has no effect, which makes any action fairly complicated.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 08:36 PM

Since you are now on the right driver we have to wonder about a hardware problem i.e. the stylus tip. Are you able to test the tablet on another OS, say Windows. Do you have pressure in that? Also does the spec.s on your tablet say it has 1024 pressure levels?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 08:42 PM

Yes, the number of pressure levels is correct. Just to be sure, the thing is that nothing happens at all when I press the tablet, not only that it is not pressure-sensitive.

At present I don't have another OS to test the tablet, but pressure did have an effect when with the wrong driver, so it's probably not a hardware problem (although I am quite puzzled now that we seem to have ruled out both driver problems and hardware problems...)

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 08:47 PM

Let's make sure we're using the same terms.

The stylus tip by default should emit the equivalent of a left mouse click.

Pressure is variation of line width in applications like Gimp, Inkscape, and MyPaint when drawing a line or whatever. With some applications such as Gimp you need to enable the extended input device.

The stylus has a battery and its fresh? Are there replaceable nibs for the tip? If so have you tried a new nib?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 08:59 PM

Sorry if my expressions are not accurate (as you may have guessed, english is not my mother tongue). So my problem is that there is no "left mouse click" effect whatsoever. I doubt it comes from a hardware problem, since if I come back to an older version of 70-wizardpen.conf, then the stylus tip has an effect, although not a left mouse click in this case. The tablet is brand new, I took the battery from inside the box, so I suspect it is ok. To be sure, I just turned back to the old version of 70-wizardpen.conf, and I confirm the stylus tip is doing something in this case.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 09:16 PM

Alright, we have a bit of a mystery. It would be nice if you could test it on a Windows PC.

The only thing I don't recognize in the Xorg.0.log is:

(II) Genius EasyPen i405X Increment: 9
That's a new one on me.

Let's see if telling the WizardPen driver what the coordinates are changes anything:

Option "BottomX" "13376"

EndSection

Section "InputClass"

Hmm, it did not solve the problem. The mysterious line you refer to is still there. Here is now how a part of Xorg.0.log looks like:

To be really really sure, I will try once more to go back to an old version of 70-wizardpen.conf and check again if it's not a hardware problem. But it's really because I don't know what else to do...

Lets try a couple of different values for TopZ. That's the opposite of what we should be doing because that will raise the pressure threshold not make it more sensitive. But what the heck, maybe there's some sort of overload. Say maybe 10, or 40, or 80?

Option "TopZ" "10"

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 09:36 PM

I tried with 10, 40, and 200, but I could not obtain any effect. From my mutliple trials, I realized that i did not need to shut down and restart the computer each time, but that closing the session was sufficient. Is it ok ?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 09:46 PM

Just to mention my stupid attempts, i tried the command

xinput set-button-map "Genius EasyPen i405X" 1 1 1

which indeed turned all buttons to a left mouse click, but left the stylus tip without effect. I tried to add a great wealth of extra 1's, but it did not change anything.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 09:55 PM

Restarting X should be OK. I doubted changing the button map would work since what you said seemed to indicate that the stylus tip was mapped to Button 1 by default, which is what it should be.

How new is this tablet? Did it just come out?

I'm wondering if it isn't supported by the X driver yet or maybe the kernel driver.

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 10:04 PM

I just bought it. The model is described there (http://www.geniusnet.com/wSite/ct?xItem=48471&ctNode=174&mp=1). I don't think it is so new though, since before buying it I had googled it to check that one could make it work with ubuntu, and I had found comments saying that.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 10:15 PM

OK, that says 2010. Don't know if that was after Lucid (10.04) but odds are good. But since you installed the PPA the X driver should be good. That only leaves the kernel driver.

Did you try one of your spare Pen tips yet?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 10:26 PM

No I didn't, but I tried several times to go back to the initial version of wizardpen.conf, and each time I do it the tip works again, although not in the way I want. Considering this, do you really think I should try to change the tip ?

(btw, I may go to bed soon, so don't be surprised in case I stop to answer for some time.)

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 10:39 PM

Well the fact that evdev gives some sort of tip response indicates that it may be something to do with the X drivers. But yes, try changing the tip. After all you want the .conf that matches to the WizardPen driver after all. But from what you said the evdev X driver isn't giving you a left click either, is it?

random_jc

August 29th, 2011, 10:47 PM

No, the evdev driver makes the tip act in a way that I don't know how to describe properly, since it does not match any usual mouse button. Under firefox, it does the "go back" button. I can browse through menus like the "System" menu of the traditional Ubuntu bar, and "click" on items. But I cannot click on an icon on the Desktop for instance, nor can I close a window using the little red cross. There is no effect on the drawing zone of Gimp.

Favux

August 29th, 2011, 11:51 PM

It sounds like evdev is translating the stylus tip as BTN_BACK. That doesn't make sense. But I guess it does fit into the stylus tip not working with the WizardPen driver since it probably can't handle a BTN_BACK. Where the heck is that coming from, the kernel? I do not understand.

The only thing I can think of is to install a newer release of Ubuntu, say Maverick (10.10)? And see if that straightens it out.

random_jc

August 30th, 2011, 11:00 AM

So I tried the tablet on a desktop computer, which unfortunately runs also with Ubuntu 10.04. Exactly the same behavior was observed: with the initial installation, the tip is interpreted as "BTN_BACK". After changing the 70-wizardpen.conf according to message #247, I got the same situation as with my laptop, that is, the tip does not have any effect, while the other buttons become middle and right mouse clicks.

Going into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I observed the same as in message #248, except that the "increment" that was 9 becomes a 10. To be really precise, values of Screen# and numbering of "mouse" are also different, here it is in full :

Hi,

I found another laptop which I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, and gave it a try. So I installed the driver, and the same behavior as usual was what I got. That is, the tablet is driven by evdev, and the tip makes a "BTN_BACK". But this time no file 70-wizardpen.conf appeared in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d. I created one anyways, but it had no effect.

The laptop I'm now using had some problems with its trackpoint at some time, and it may be that I messed up the configuration a long time ago because of that.

random_jc

September 1st, 2011, 03:30 PM

I finally understood why my 70-wizardpen.conf had no effect. With Ubuntu 10.10, it should be located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, and no longer in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d...

Ok, so in the right folder now, there was indeed a 70-wizardpen.conf which looked like this :

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchTag "wizardpen"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

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

I tried to add one of these lines

MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|i405X|Ace Cad"
MatchProduct "i405X"

but the tablet remained with its evdev driver. So in the end I re-used the exact same 70-wizardpen.conf as in message #235, to get the same result as with Ubuntu 10.04. That is, the tablet is now matched with the right driver, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks just the same, and the tip has no effect.

Does someone have any suggestion ?

I don't think the differences will hurt anything. You're just changing the wizardpen.conf file. So I'd keep the newer driver rather than install an older one over it.

Hey guys,

New to the forums and to Ubuntu/Linux in general (about two days so far!). Been trying to get my TWA60 working to no avail. I've been following the instructions in the OP, however I'm getting stuck on step 9:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">

</deviceinfo>

Every time I run this and type :wq into the terminal, it outputs the error:

"/etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi" E212: Can't open file for writing

When I browse through my folders, I don't see /etc/hal, I can't create folders in /etc, and when I open it in gedit, it won't allow me to save, giving me the error:

"Could not find the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again."

Sorry for the nubbish question. Hopefully it isn't too hard to resolve.

Hi t3h m00kz,

Well, I'm not so knowledgeable about the topic, since I don't manage to have my tablet working, but as far as I understand, you should not go for the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi file if you have Ubuntu version 10.04 or higher. See

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

Yet, you should be free to create any folder or file you want, but sometimes you need special rights. For this, you may type "sudo gedit ..." in a terminal, and file in your password.

Sincerly,
Jc

Hi.

This is probably not specific to wizardpen, but is it possible to to map the tablet to a part of the screen?
I've got a 2-monitor setup, and want the tablet to correspond to a single display, or even better, a part of the display.

Otherwise, my M610 works just perfectly, thanks for the great job!

Hi drpjkurian,

Everything looks OK so far. Both the .conf and xinput list. Although we might have room to play with the .conf match lines.

Alright, so stuck in upper left corner (0,0) implies that X input isn't receiving any coordinate values. Since the WizardPen X driver in DoctorMO's PPA has been working let's assume it is something else for now.

Do you know when this happened? It seems to me there was a kernel update for Lucid in the last week. Also an Intel video update among other stuff I think.

So if you can, try booting into the previous kernel and see if that fixes things.

Let's try a quick check to see if we can determine what X driver has the tablet. Run in a terminal:

xinput list-props "UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U"
and post the output. If it is evdev that's the problem.

Then let's look at your Xorg.0.log in /var/log and see if that tells us anything. If list-props doesn't show us the driver Xorg.0.log will. You might want to compress and attach it.

Is it possible the stylus battery died?

Alright. Assuming you've installed the PPA and that went OK then it appears to be a match problem since it is on the evdev X driver. You should actually be able to get it working on that in Oneiric I think, but maybe not with the evdev version in Lucid.

So let's try something quick. Try changing the wizardpen.conf to:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
MatchProduct "WP5540U"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
MatchProduct "WP5540U"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
Driver ""
EndSection
Reboot and repeat the list-props.

Good, so the stylus is working correctly again?

You have a tablet mouse also? As far as I know that isn't supported by the WizardPen driver, and least we haven't gotten it working before that I remember. But yours was working?

Right now the tablet mouse snippet is set up to keep the mouse off any driver. That's what DoctorMO has used. We could try placing it on the evdev driver. But that would probably break X unless the mouse is exported from the kernel as a separate device from the stylus. If you know how to fix the wizardpen.conf from the Recovery Mode command line we could give it a shot. I'm thinking if it was working it must have been evdev that picked it up.

hi i have a little Problem with a Tablet.
it is the same Problem as here

and it seems to be solved.

But i don't know how to do this:

"
You may also be able to redirect this tablet to use xf86-input-evdev instead. You'll lose ability to treat eraser as a different input device but it may at least work.

Hi Wasabi2007,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

Some more information would be helpful. What release of Ubuntu are you using? Also the output of some commands run in a terminal would be good. For example:

lsusb
will have a line in the output with the tablet in it and that will give us the manufacturer and model ID. And:

xinput list
will tell us the "device name" the tablet is using.

Sorry for my harsh and short post. And Thank you for your welcome.

At first I can not post the needed information at the moment, because it was a Laptop from a friend of mine and he needed it back.

I wanted to make him this (http://www.davidrevoy.com/index.php?article110/kubuntu-11-10-for-digital-painting) set-up but his tablet was not detected. So tried the Wizardpen Drivers and see there the tablet is detected.
But the tablet didn't send any feedback. So i searched for that problem and found this (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.wacom/6127) mailing list conversation.
It is the same Tablet device and the same error and it seemed to be solved by replacing the the "xf86-input-wacom" driver through "xf86-input-evdev".

Unfortunately i have not enough linux/(k)ubuntu in deep knowledge to know were i have to replace the driver.

January 19th, 2012, 08:19 PM

Not a problem at all.

I followed your link, but I really want to verify the Vendor ID = 172f = Waltop and the Product ID = 0502 from the lsusb.

Bus 002 Device 012: ID 172f:0502 Waltop International Corp. Sirius Battery Free Tablet
See from Nick's site: http://digimend.sourceforge.net/ that Waltop model isn't included yet in the kernel: http://digimend.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=digimend/kernel-patches.git;a=blob_plain;f=COMPATIBILITY And that is what they are saying on that thread you link too.

Nick offers to add it to the kernel if the usbhid-dump information his site requests is sent to him and his kernel patch/driver is tested.

You see the Waltop tablets are suppose to use the Wacom driver now, and tablets that don't use the Wacom X driver are suppose to use evdev. And that is suppose to happen automatically if the tablet is in the kernel. What you are asking about is the xorg.conf.d .conf (configuration) files. For the distribution the files would be in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. Custom .conf files by the user are suppose to go in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Here's some more information on xorg.conf.d .conf files: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Xorg.conf.d

But you should not have to make a custom file, it should happen automatically. It looks like the problem is that model of Waltop tablet is not yet in the kernel. In which case I don't think pressure, despite what is reported on that thread, would be working. Unless some generic hid kernel driver I don't know about processes unclaimed Waltop tablets. They are just transitioning to this system having just dropped the WizardPen driver for the evdev driver. And unfortunately a number of tablets are not in the kernel yet. They mainly seem to be KYE Systems tablets though.

Good. Now what does the tablet do? Does the stylus get recognized? In other words does the pointer arrow track the stylus tip?

Although the 502 model is not in Nick's compatibility tablet (i.e. not yet in the kernel) the Wacom X driver xf86-input-wacom is picking the tablet up. That's why you see stylus, eraser, and pad appended to the device name in xinput list.

You can verify that by posting the ouput in a terminal of:

xinput list-props 15
And you should also see the tablet setting up on the Wacom driver in Xorg.0.log in /var/log.

From my understanding of how things are currently suppose to work and what you've showed it appears to me everything is working correctly.

The 50-wacom.conf is correctly picking up the WALTOP keyword and configuring your tablet on the Wacom X driver which it is suppose to. As I said Waltops go to Wacom and the other tablets that used the former WizardPen driver are picked up by the 10-evdev.conf. So it is all happening as it should.

The problem is of course your tablet's usb descriptor is not in the kernel. So values like ABS_PRESSURE or ABS_Z or whatever it is the Wacom driver is looking for are null. That's why there is no reaction to the stylus tip. No tracking, left click, and pressure.

So to get it working you need to go to Nick's DIGImend sourceforge site and send in the information he requests on the link at the bottom of the site. You can see an example of the information on this post by viktoria.s (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11580830&postcount=22), which she recently sent in for another tablet. Nick will tell you if the information is good or if he needs anything else. Then he'll make patches for the kernel and ask you to test them and if they are good he will submit them to the kernel so your tablet model is included for now on. So you get to help with linux kernel development! :)

Patching the kernel sounds a little daunting but it isn't actually that hard and Nick will walk you through it. And I will try to help if you need me to.

And by the way the hotkeys on the tablet don't work. No one has yet written code to get them working as far as I know. Maybe Nick is thinking about doing that at some point?

For a 52-waltop-on-evdev.conf you could try:

Section "InputClass"

MatchProduct "WALTOP"

That is good news. Is pressure working with evdev? In the Xorg.0.log is it the "evdev tablet class" snippet that is picking up the tablet?

he registers even the special buttons left and right from the device.
but the Button Mapping seems to be wrong.

Are you talking about the stylus side buttons? Does the stylus have two side buttons, i.e. a rocker switch? What is wrong with the mapping?

Option "ButtonMapping" "string"
Yes, exactly as you can see from man evdev entered in a terminal. So we just need to know what the current button map is. Unfortunately list-props doesn't seem to tell us. Say something like:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "waltop-on-evdev class"
MatchProduct "WALTOP"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1,3,2"
EndSection

You could also do it through xinput. See man xinput. Be careful about the "device name" though. From previous experience the malformed one you are seeing in xinput list is what you have to use, i.e.:

" WALTOP Batteryless Tablet"
I'm pretty sure you have to include the erroneous white spaces.

Wow, outstanding! Now how the heck is that happening? Clearly I am missing something.

With the new .conf file to put the Waltop on the evdev driver we're overriding the Wacom X driver match in the 50-wacom.conf. So now the situation is getting complicated. Some Waltops work on Wacom and others on evdev? I am confused.

Alright, tablet buttons. Thanks that link was helpful for me to see what you were talking about. Wacom calls those ExpressKeys, but since that is trademarked by Wacom in linux we call them pad or tablet buttons. The Wacom driver has a bunch of code to support those, both in the kernel driver and the X driver I believe. Then the xsetwacom code in the Wacom X driver has code to handle setting the pad buttons to modifiers and/or keys. As far as I'm aware the evdev driver has no code at all to support those, other than the keyboard stuff I suppose.

I have no idea how to set those up. You could see if they are sending a signal (button/key press and release or whatever) by either trying xev or evtest. With xev you enter xev in a terminal and then press a button and see if you get a key code. With evtest you may need to run it in a console as root and you need to know the device node the tablet is on.

If you can get a keycode then you may be able to do a keybinding with the CompizConfigurationManager (CCSM) or say Xbindkeys.

Hmmm. It sure is looking like your model Waltop tablet has support from a kernel driver somewhere. You're using Oneiric, so the 3.0 kernel, correct?

Changing a key's mapping can be done a bunch of ways. Changing the mapping in the kernel driver's code, udev, or X. And along with that keybinding. See appendix 2 of the Rotation HOW TO (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6274392&postcount=1) to get a feel for what is involved.

Dear Favux and Drkurian i tried to read almost all topics before telling you my problem because i see that you do everything you can to help us.
I have a trust/16937 tablet and i use ubuntu 10.04.I have a really bizare problem.When pc boots up i can move the pen without touching the tablet and cursor moves in screen.As soon as i touch pen in tablet or press the button the movement stops and i can move the cursor only if pen touches tablet.Iam really sorry for my bad english,Ty in advance.:p

Thank you nmitsis for your kind words. I'm glad you got your Trust 16937 tablet working in Lucid. :)

FYI everyone: The DIGImend project's mediawiki (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=DIGImend) is live! It already has a lot of information on these tablets and how to get them working in linux using the new method, i.e. the evdev driver for Oneiric and later. Please take a look.

Hey,
my trust TB5300 refuses to work at all on the ubuntu 11.10 supplied xorg graphic tabet driver it worked fine with my laptop when it was on 11.10 and on the same driver version.

i checked the xorg.conf file and the tablet section hasn't turned up.

what do i need to do to get it to work?

Favux

June 23rd, 2012, 03:39 PM

Hi Zealex,

I think your Trust TB-5300 is the "UC-Logic Tablet WP5540U". You can run in a terminal:

xinput list
to confirm that. Please post the output. (Posting the output of lsusb would also be good.)

If so it should work out of the box. There should be a kernel driver supporting it and it should run on the evdev X driver: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Tablet_support_status

The match to the evdev driver would be at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d in the 10-evdev.conf: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Tablet_setup_with_xf86-input-evdev

After running xinput list use the <device name> you find for the tablet in the following terminal command:

xinput list-props "device name"
And that should tell us if it is on evdev. Go ahead and post the output.

Edit2: I reinstalled the wizardpen 0.8.1 and got back control over cursor movement and buttons ... still no pressure sensitivity.

ps: i ve read through a lot of posts and i see a drive called endev ... if u think i d have better chance of success with that please tell me how to remove wizardpen and install that

SOLVED: i got the pressure to work on gimp and my paint but not on krita

i tried to do the thing as seen in comments here but i am not able to find that file in ubuntu12.04

Hi NoReflection,

WizardPen is no more in Precise. I'm guessing you are using Precise, correct?

Depending on the tablet it probably either uses the evdev or wacom X driver. What is the tablet model? And post the output of xinput list in a terminal so we can check the oem and product ID.

And I tried compiling WizardPen in Precise and it seemed to go OK except I didn't see the X driver either. Also got no errors. So maybe not the best Makefile or whatever. I haven't had time to look into it further but I plan to at some point.

Alright.

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 5543:0004 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Tablet WP5540U
Vendor ID (VID) = 5543 = UC-Logic
Product ID (PID) = 0004 = WP5540U

The DIGImend project calls it the UC-Logic Tablet WP5540U and says it is supported by the kernel and evdev: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Tablet_support_status

So supposedly it should work out of the box in Precise with the tablet on the evdev X driver. Let's check what's going on with:

xinput list-props 8
ID number can change if you hot plug or restart. So you might want to check it with xinput list again. And of course the tablet's usb cable should be plugged in.

would I be correct to assume that this is saying it is only taking 242-243 px of the tablet? I have dual 23" wide screens. And it only allows me to move the pen about half of that on only one screen. I am not able to move the pen from one monitor to the next.

Well it sort of made a lier out of me. seems I can move from screen to screen. But as soon as I press down on the tip the courser locks up and only way I can move it is my pressing down and moving where I should be able to hover and move

OK, so it is on the evdev driver according to list-props.

I have dual 23" wide screens. And it only allows me to move the pen about half of that on only one screen. I can move from screen to screen.
To map the tablet to one screen you'll have to use the CTM method because your tablet doesn't use the Wacom X driver. The CTM is the Coordinate Transformation Matrix you see in list-props. See the dual monitor HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1656089

But as soon as I press down on the tip the courser locks up and only way I can move it is my pressing down and moving where I should be able to hover and move
Now that's a good question. I don't know if the evdev X driver supports hover mode, i.e. it detects pen tip proximity and after a distance threshold (pen close enough to the tablet) has been passed it gives control of the pointer to the pen. Since it gives the tablet Absolute axes maybe it acts like the TabletPCButton on parameter in Wacom and the pen tip actually has to be touching the tablet. So what we want to know is does evdev detect proximity? I don't see a proximity Option in 'man evdev'.

Now it seems to me some pen's have a physical proximity adjustment in the pen. You might want to check your manual for that. Maybe your pen's is set very low/close and you just need to adjust it.

NoReflection

I guess I should say first that when I plug in the tablet and "wake it up" I am able to move around the way it should be with hovering. but as soon as I try to draw it "locks" to the screen, still moves around. and right click works. I am not sure how to get into settings with the pen since the configuration is controlled by software and It is only supported for Mac or Windows.

Hi. Im really new to this so I don't really know how to use ubuntu well. I found this and tried it but still my tablet doesn't work. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I have a Genius MousePen i608X. When I connect it I can move the pen around the screen but when I'm going to click (for example, using a web browser) it goes one page back, if I click again, it does the same. Someone could help me please?

Favux

October 4th, 2012, 04:46 AM

Hi Crissie,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

This HOW TO is outdated now and doesn't apply to Ubuntu Precise (12.04).

Your Genius MousePen i608X is a fairly new tablet and isn't supported by the 3.2 kernel in Precise. If you look at the DIGImend site: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=DIGImend you'll see the link to "Tablet support status" page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Tablet_support_status There you'll see that your KYE MousePen i608X (0458:5011) is supported by the 3.4 kernel.

So you have 3 choices. Wait for Quantal (12.10) which is due out in a couple of weeks. Or use one of the kernels Nick has compiled with support for your tablet: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Kernel_packages Or apply the patches yourself: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Kernel_patches Rather than rolling an entire kernel you can take a shortcut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1946486

Of course the last two options are a bit advanced for a newbie. :)

lsusb

FYI Everybody

We've just learned how to compile the WizardPen driver in Precise and it seems to work. So I imagine it should work in Oneiric and it would be interesting to try it in Quantal. The "HOW TO" needs a little polishing still but you can find it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12307583&postcount=27 It is on the HOW TO Add Support for KYE, UC-logic, and Waltop Tablets in Ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1946486) thread.

So folks whose tablet is not yet supported, see DIGImend link above, should have a work around. Don't forget to submit tablet diagnostics (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Collecting_tablet_diagnostics) if you have an unsupported/new tablet.

Also DIGImend is actively soliciting developers to help with the workload.

Thank you for the lsusb output. Okay your UC-Logic Technology Corp. Genius PenSketch 6x8 Tablet is not supported. While the 0042 (Genius PenSketch 12x9) is supported the 0041 isn't. Mystery solved.

Muy-buro has the same tablet and already submitted the diagnostics for it to the DIGImend site. You could monitor the mailing list and help test the kernel driver when Nick posts it.

In the meantime we have it working using the WizardPen driver. See the link I gave above. The example .conf file on the HOW TO for Muy-buro applies to your tablet too.

Hi,

I have an iBall PF1209 Drawing Tablet. The Tablet works and the sensitivity fine too. I do have one problem and I am not sure how to explain it. I'll try my best however. Here goes:

My computer has Windows Vista and Ubuntu installed side by side. The Tablet works fine on Vista as you can see below: Working on Gimp in Vista:
http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j375/barney_joseph/Misc/test_vista.jpeg

In Ubuntu the pointer moves and sometimes gets stuck while moving/when a button is pressed/when a menu opens up. There is no telling when the pointer will stop following. The solution for me is to lift my hand off the tablet and place it back again. The pointer will jump to which ever position it wants and will return to the point that I want it to. The effect is like this: Using MyPaint in Ubuntu:
http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j375/barney_joseph/Misc/test_ubuntu.jpg

Can someone please help me? This used to work before. I had to reinstall my computer and therefore reinstall Wizardpen. I know that this has worked very well in Ubuntu, Windows Xp Sp2, Sp3 and Windows Vista Business. I have no clue as to how to make this work now!

Thanks in advance for ANY help!

In case anyone was following.... I've checked for duplicity in the xinput list.... that didn't work. There was a troubleshooting tip about the double click problem.... commented out the settings in 70-wizardpen.conf. But it still happens!

I've found out that the jumping happens only when there is a hard press on the pen and not for a slight stroke..... Please help! I've added a picture from MyPaint:

The same thing happens in Gimp too... just in case anyone has the question! It's just that MyPaint shows the return stroke while Gimp doesn't show. In Gimp, if the pressure hits a max and goes below in the same stroke itself, the pointer gets stuck at the position of change of pressure!

I've tried to reinstall wizard pen!

I have an iBall PF1209 Tablet. But:

Hi barneyjoseph,

OK, so a iBall PF1209 Drawing Tablet. And with lsusb you've identified the Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID): 5543:0042

You can see the DIGImend project says it is a supported tablet: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/digimend/index.php?title=Tablet_support_status calling it the UC-Logic Tablet PF1209.

So what we need to know is what release of Ubuntu are you using? The ouput of the following command in a terminal will tell us the same thing:

Xorg -version

That appears to be Maverick. Vanilla Maverick Gnome?

While Maverick was my favorite release so far since it is no longer supported we probably shouldn't spend much time trying to set your tablet up on it unless you confirm that you want to continue using it.

Anyway with Maverick we're still using the WizardPen driver that I assume you got from Martin Owen's PPA?: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/xorg-wizardpen/ I ask because your wizardpen.conf file seems custom and not the one that would have come from the PPA package.

Also please post the output of the following command in a terminal:

xinput list
That will help us with the match in the .conf file.

OK, so method 1, in other words the PPA?

Let's try to clean up your .conf files a bit. First remove the xorg.conf section with the coordinate options. Those can go in the wizardpen.conf. Or you could use a custom .conf file for them, called say 72-wizardpen.conf in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory.

#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "WizardPen Tablet"
# Driver "wizardpen"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-_TabletPF1209_-event-mouse"
# Option "TopX" "0"
# Option "TopY" "1553"
# Option "BottomX" "32541"
# Option "BottomY" "32762"
# Option "TopZ" "10"
# Option "BottomZ" "1024"
#EndSection
The original 0.7.4 wizardpen.conf file that comes from the PPA for Maverick reads:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchTag "wizardpen"
Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
MatchTag "wizardpen"
Driver "mouse"
Option "MouseSpeed" "16"
Option "ignore" "true"
EndSection
And should work provided you have the 67-wizardpen.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d. But I believe I have run into it not working for the PF1209 before. Maybe the MatchTag line doesn't work.

Now the TabletPF1209 keyword can only be used in a MatchProduct line not a MatchVendor line. No need for the explicit MatchPath. The driver does not support a tablet mouse. You can use all of the coordinates in the wizardpen.conf, no need for the xorg.conf entry.

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
# MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchProduct "TabletPF1209"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "TopX" "0"
Option "TopY" "1553"
Option "BottomX" "32541"
Option "BottomY" "32762"
Option "TopZ" "10"
Option "BottomZ" "1024"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchProduct "TabletPF1209"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
Option "ignore" "true"
EndSection
If you want to try MatchTablet and it works, fine.

Dear Fauvx,

Thank you so much for helping me fix the jumping problem. The pointer doesn't get stuck anymore. There is one teensy problem.... the Tablet seems to be mapped to only a small rectangle area of the display. It isn't somehow reading in the Top and Bottom X&Y sizes put into any of the .conf files.

Here's what I've done.... I've commented out all the entries in the xorg.conf file. I've put them into 72-wizardpen.conf in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "WizardPen Tablet" Driver "wizardpen" Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-_TabletPF1209_-event-mouse" Option "TopX" "0" Option "TopY" "1553" Option "BottomX" "32541" Option "BottomY" "32762" Option "TopZ" "10" Option "BottomZ" "1024" EndSection

And this is what is there in the 70-wizardpen.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d folder

Section "InputClass" Identifier "wizardpen" # MatchIsTablet "on" MatchProduct "TabletPF1209" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "wizardpen" Option "TopX" "0" Option "TopY" "1553" Option "BottomX" "32541" Option "BottomY" "32762" Option "TopZ" "10" Option "BottomZ" "1024" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev" MatchProduct "TabletPF1209" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*" Option "ignore" "true" EndSection

Good!

the Tablet seems to be mapped to only a small rectangle area of the display
If I understand you correctly you do not need the 72-wizardpen.conf in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d because it is duplicating your 70-wizardpen.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. Besides matching to the specific mouse device path for coordinates wouldn't work, the coordinates have to apply to the pen not the unsupported mouse.

Let's make sure it is on the WizardPen driver. Enter the following command in a terminal:

xinput list-props 10
First check in xinput list that 10 is the ID number for the first TabletPF1209 line in the output. ID numbers can change. And post the output.

Or you could also look at the Xorg.0.log in /var/log.

But the coordinates you had in the xorg.conf don't look correct anyway. Try changing:

Option "TopY" "1553"
to.

Option "TopY" "0"
and see where that gets you. You could also comment out the X and Y coordinates and see if the driver comes up with the correct ones on its own.

Another option is to use xinput_calibrator to determine the coordinates. It should be in the repositories.

The list-props indicates it is on the WizardPen driver because the evdev driver would announce itself in the output while the WizardPen doesn't. Xorg.0.log confirms it.

Also from the Xorg.0.log it looks like the driver knows the coordinates and you probably don't need to specify them for X and Y.

--) TabletPF1209: MaxX:24000 MaxY:18000 MaxZ:1023
However if you do this is what it is saying to use:

Option "TopX" "0"
Option "TopY" "0"
Option "BottomX" "24000"
Option "BottomY" "18000"
And you should change:

Option "BottomZ" "1024"
to.

Option "BottomZ" "1023"
Since 0 counts as a pressure level 0 to 1023 is 1024 levels whereas 0 to 1024 is 1025 levels. Sorry should have caught that before.

December 18th, 2012, 05:26 PM

[SOLVED]

Thanks a million times million. I eventually commented out all Top and Bottom X&Y values and set BottomZ to "1023"

That did the trick. The tablet works fine in File Explorer, Gimp and MyPaint.

I tried posting this question in the "Hardware" forum but I'm not getting any responses so I thought I'd try here.

Anyways, I purchased this Chinese made drawing tablet: http://www.huion-tablet.com/product/...t.php?sku=1004

It works excellent in Windows with the drivers they've provided and I managed to get it working in Linux almost perfectly by installing the wizardpen driver and using the following settings in the 52-tablet.conf file.

Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "UC-Logic tablet"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchProduct "HUION H610"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "wizardpen"
# Apply custom Options below.
Option "TopX" "0"
Option "TopY" "0"
Option "BottomZ" "2047"
Option "BottomX" "2047"
Option "BottomY" "2047"
EndSection

Even after applying these settings I find that the native Windows drives seems to be a little smoother and the button mapping is all wrong on Linux side as well.

How can I modify these settings so that I get the best performance. I set BottomZ to 2047 because the tablet is advertised as having 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity. Am I doing this right? Another concern I have is that when pressure sensitivity is on line thickness, in Linux they look a little bit jagged, while in Windows they are perfect. Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks.
