Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
Hi Mel,
The new kernel has a new modules directory that has the old default wacom.ko that doesn't work. You can either try copying (cp) your compiled wacom.ko in the unpacked source code tar into place:
Code:
sudo cp ./src/2.6.30/wacom.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko
or if that doesn't work recompile linuxwacom (I.) for a new wacom.ko.

Thanks
Finally, I reinstalled and it works again
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
Hi Favux,
I am having problems getting the middle wheel working on Wacom 4x6 (IntuOS 4) on Lucid. I have tried so many different things but i still can't get it to work. The rest is working fine i.e button 2 to 7 which i assigned to different key combination but the middle mouse which i want to use for zoom doesn't work. Following are the details
Lucid (10.04)
xserver-xorg-input-wacom - Version: 1:0.10.5-0ubuntu4
xserver-xorg-core - Version: 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7
I also tried to install the latest package using this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...12&postcount=1 but had same issue. Do you know why its not working?.
And ya i have gone through all your posts i really appreciate your work. You have done a great job.
Thanks in advance
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
Hi brij,
What xsetwacom command are you using?

If you mean you tried xf86-input-wacom 0.10.8 (or cloning the git) that's the best you can do. If not try that (II. on this HOW TO).
Not everything in xf86-input-wacom is working yet, although they're getting close. For example the touch strips still just give mouse buttons and keystrokes aren't yet enabled for them.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! My CTL-460 runs like a silk kite on a Himalayan breeze!
This post made my shift to ubuntu from windows so worthwhile, I mean GIMP, mypaint and inkscape, plus blender and wings never sat happy on my vista system, so my migration really was inevitable.
Many thanks

P.s
I think in retrospect my tablet runs better now than in windows... don't quote me though!;)
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
i am using following commands
xsetwacom set 'Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad' Button1 "CORE KEY A"
xsetwacom set 'Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad' AbsWUp '+'
xsetwacom set 'Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad' AbsWDn '-'
ya i tried to use the latest xf86-input-wacom by cloning git but still doesn't work.
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
Hi brij,
In xf86-input-wacom "core" is deprecated so it should be:
Code:
xsetwacom set 'Wacom Intuos4 4x6 pad' Button1 "KEY A"
I don't know if that'll make a difference.
We were working on a .xsetwacom.sh for the Intous4 on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1532748 And I posted a preliminary version on this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=10
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
ya i tried the same command without using core but no go.
i think i have already tried that link but same results.
What do you think?
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
I'm going to guess it isn't in the code yet, same as with the touchstrips. We could ask the LWP I suppose.
Re: HOW TO Set Up the Bamboo Pen & Touch in Lucid
Attention Everyone having trouble with Touch and Gestures. A fix.
Looking at the code Chris thinks the problem may be located here:
Code:
1050 /* ignore Bamboo touch data if point is abnormal */
1051 if ((ds.device_type == TOUCH_ID) && (common->tablet_id >= 0xd0
1052 && common->tablet_id <= 0xd3) && ds.proximity)
1053 {
1054 if (!(ds.x * ds.y) || (pLast->proximity &&
1055 (abs(ds.x - pLast->x) > BAMBOO_TOUCH_JUMPED ||
1056 abs(ds.y - pLast->y) > BAMBOO_TOUCH_JUMPED)))
1057 {
1058 /* ignore the data */
1059 goto ret;
1060 }
1061 }
In wcmCommon.c BAMBOO_TOUCH_JUMPED is set at 30:
Code:
#define BAMBOO_TOUCH_JUMPED 30
Chris suggests changing it to 300 or higher. So clone a clean copy of xf86-input-wacom as per the HOW TO and after updating the xorg macro, if you haven't already, before you:
Code:
cd xf86-input-wacom
Use Places to navigate to xf86-input-wacom/src/wcmCommon.c and open it with gedit. At about line # 34 change it to:
Code:
#define BAMBOO_TOUCH_JUMPED 300
and Save. Then proceed with:
Code:
cd xf86-input-wacom
etc,
Hopefully this will improve touch and gestures for you. I'm interested in feedback.
