I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Dell Latitude XT2. Everything seems to be working (touch, stylus and big button) except the small button on the stylus does nothing. I have tried to see if I am getting any X events from it using 'xev' but the pen movement events overwhelm any button events.
here are outputs of some relevant commands
Code:
$ xsetwacom list
N-Trig Pen stylus id: 12 type: STYLUS
N-Trig Pen eraser id: 17 type: ERASER
N-Trig Pen pad id: 18 type: PAD
Code:
$ xinput --list-props "N-Trig Pen stylus"

using xinput or xsetwacom to change the button action has not been succesful. In fact, using either xinput or xsetwacom, I can set the big button to act just like left mouse (1572865) but either of the two other settings (1572866 and 1572867) both act the same. I think they are being overridden by the Settings->Wacom Tablet button settings. I can control whether the big button acts as middle click or right click though Settings->Wacom Tablet interface. But I have not been able to use any of these tools to set the small button.
I thought maybe my stylus was broken so I bought a used one on EBay, but it has same behaviour.
If there are other commands I should run, please let me know.
thanks
