Alright it is showing up in xinput list as "TABLET DEVICE" as you already know. Oops sorry, looks like I forgot to say we really need the output of lsusb in a terminal too. That's the one that has the oem and product ID.

Alright.
Vendor ID (VID) = 5543 = UC-LogicCode:Bus 003 Device 002: ID 5543:0004 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Tablet WP5540U
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/mediawik...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:
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.Code:xinput list-props 8
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.
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=1656089Quote:
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.
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'.Quote:

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.
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?
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/mediawik...title=DIGImend you'll see the link to "Tablet support status" page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...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/mediawik...ernel_packages Or apply the patches yourself: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...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. :)
Thank you Favux! I think I'll better wait for Quantal. ^^'
I use wp8060 (UC-Logic Tablet WP8060U)
It'snt work in ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 12.10. In old version of ubuntu, I use wizardpen but now I can't use it. And I tried to use Digimed but It does'nt work on ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 12.10.
