I finally get my Waltop tablet working in 10.4 (except Hot-Plug). So I just want to give encouragement to others: "keep trying" =) I've been searching here and searching there for the past month, and finally get this working, at 4 am !.
my tablet is working fine in 9.10 until upgrade to 10.4.
My current setup is resulted (mix and match) between this current thread, this thread , and the Ubuntu documentation
btw, I'm using PenPower's Tooya tablet (which is the Waltop Slim Tablet, i think), and with wizardpen's driver.
NOTE for GIMP user:
under Edit -> Preference -> Input Devices -> Configure Extended Input Devices. You need to disable "WALTOP International.." device, and use "wizardpen" instead.
Other than updating to latest wizardpen package (from Doctormo), i've only configure 2 files:
/etc/X11/xorg.confg
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "wizardpen"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-event-mouse"
Option "TopX" "103"
Option "TopY" "104"
Option "BottomX" "9989"
Option "BottomY" "6205"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
# InputDevice "WizardPen Tablet" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "wizardpen" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
and /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-WALTOP_International_Corp._Slim_Tablet-event-mouse"
MatchVendor "*WALTOP*|*Tablet*"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-event-mouse"
Option "TopX" "103"
Option "TopY" "104"
Option "BottomX" "9989"
Option "BottomY" "6205"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1:1.0-mouse"
MatchVendor "*WALTOP*|*Tablet*"
Driver ""
EndSection
** Note that for device path, I did start out every reference as by-id, but i ended up with some being by-path. Not sure if that matters, but it worked for me. Your tablet's path will probably be different from mine. You can find out your tablet's path from my Ubuntu Documentation link i listed above.
** also, I'm a linux newbie,and i've made a dumb mistake during my endless trail and error, that costed me many nights. So i wanted to highlighted it here, and hopefully no one will repeat it: The Section in xorg.conf is InputDevice and 70-wizardpen.conf is InputClass, and they accept different options/value. And Don't laugh!!
And for those that knows how to get my tablet "become" hot-plug again, as in 9.10, please let me know!
In 9.10, as long as I plug in my usb tablet before I open up GIMP, then I can use my tablet.
In 10.4, I need to plug in my usb tablet before I turn on my laptop. *GIMP can recognize I got a "WALTOP International..." tablet, but the "wizardpen" didn't show up. And as I mentioned above, it will only work if I select "wizardpen" under the "Configure Extended Input Device"
