problem with X41 tablet stylus functionality

[FrankTheTankC]

Under the ubuntu 10.10 live CD, the stylus works perfectly.
However, when I actually install and start to use 10.10 on this laptop, touching the stylus to the screen would make the cursor jump and click all over the edges of the screen.
Any ideas?

Hi FrankTheTankC,

Sounds like the stylus isn't actually on the Wacom driver for whatever reason. Let's see what the output of the following in a terminal is.:

xinput --list

:popcorn: I'm paying attention to this thread and would love to see the touchscreen start working.
roue@ThinkPad:~$ xinput --list

Hi Oldbones,

Now let's check what driver the stylus is on:

xinput list-props "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus"
and post the output.

I had similar problems and for kicks I installed the latest version of the linux wacom driver.

Problem solved! No more random clicking, jitter, jumping, etc.
