Hi Ayuthia,
Do you mean use both lines or change 'DebugLevel' to 'CommonDBG'?

It would be nice to have both because I am finding that they are both providing different information that is helpful.Originally Posted by Favux

OK, both .fdi's are updated to test3 in post #384 and have both lines. I'm not sure about the order and placement. For example you might want to add the 'DebugLevel' line to eraser and pad. And to touch in the non-alt.touch test3 .fdi.
Hi marek_online,
Which symlink rule for the xorg.conf from post #384 did you add to "40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules" in "/lib/udev/rules.d/"? Or if you used something different could you post it?

Preface: I have not managed to keep up with the massive amount of posts on this thread and the last one I was able to read is the one quoted below. Also, I have been a bit patchy in my reading before as well, so I may have missed stuff before that post too. If there is anything that I have missed that I should try then please quote my message, or it if is very important PM me.
I have followed all the instructions in your post #144 on a new download of wcm2_patch and linuxwacom 8.4. I ran rmmod wacom, and modprobe wacom and now I can use my pen to move the mouse along the screen. But it is behaving in the most abnormal manner. The bottom right corner aligns with the bottom right corner of my screen (well the right hand monitor, I have 2). But the top left does not align with anything at all, and I can't always reach the top left corner of my (left) screen. I can't click at all, or use the mouse buttons. The eraser behaves in much the same way as the mouse.
It is now detecting touch. But in an equally erratic way. If I touch it it moves about in a very small space on the lower right edge of my screen, when I take my finger off it "teleports" to the left edge of my screen. I can use 2 fingers as well, but with an even more limited range of movement. It does not seem to like 3 fingers very much, and I don't think the tablet detects 4. (at least the light goes off when I put my fourth finger down, well not off, but it dims, as if I don't have any fingers on)
Also on post #144 it says to run:
but I could only find wactablet.h.patch so I used that instead.Code:patch -p1 < wactablet.c.patch
I have attached lost of information, such as Xorg.0.log and lahal. If there is anything else you need pleas ask

Well, you are the only one who has detected touch and it is able to log the information also! I will need to review this information to see what we can do with it. That is the reason why you are having issues with the touch (nothing has been defined for it yet).Preface: I have not managed to keep up with the massive amount of posts on this thread and the last one I was able to read is the one quoted below.

Your upper left corner is most likely because of the definition for your device. I think it needs to be set to 14732 and 9144 instead of 14760 and 9225. Because of the higher setting, I think it is not able to reach the corner. I will see what I can do about the touch to see if I can get it to report a little better. Now if only we can figure out how yours has been the only one that reports the touch.
Do the Wacom devices have any firmware that gets installed? If so, are you using Windows 7 or Vista?
Just Give Me the Beans!
I have installed the drives from the included CD on another XP machine, it works well there. I don't have vista, but my windows 7 beta may still work (dunno, i think it stopped when win'7 was released but it may only shut down every 3 hours, that is long enough to see what happenes.

Actually, I didn't read the post fully, so didn't have any symlink. It turned out, I didn't have a "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules" either. I've just created one with the pen_and_touch rule in post #384, and I don't see any difference in behaviour.
EDIT:
I'm now using the latest alt.touch_test3 .fdi file. No difference in behaviour. I've attached logs.
xinput results are a little different (touch is listed, there's no Wacom Bamboo P&T 4x5 item), and the GIMP no longer lists Wacom Pen & Touch as an extended input device (it used to appear, beneath the stylus, eraser and pad options), but it doesn't list "touch" either.

Hi marek_online,
Alright, I should have known it wouldn't be there because you ran purge. There are rules above and below the excerpt I showed that enable the touch symlink rule to work. Sorry. See Appendix 3 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949
Hi TheguywholikesLINUX,
What .fdi were you using when you got touch to react. Or was it xorg.conf?
A Carafe of Ubuntu
Cool. I'll have a look.
In the meantime, I've seen some interesting behaviour in the GIMP and wonder if it's an artefact of the way I was moving the stylus or something more interesting.
Normally I get the same behaviour as ehfortin: The stylus starts as a pen, I turn it around and it becomes an eraser, and from then on I either have to turn it twice or turn it and then bring it out of and back into range to get it to switch.
Just there, though, I was using it and found that if I held my hand still (resting on the pad, I suppose) and twirled it in my fingers it would almost always switch properly. Maybe the way I was moving it was bringing it out of range twice somehow, but I've attached a segment of my /var/log/messages where it was happening just in case.
EDIT:
Okay, I can reliably reproduce this. In the GIMP, drawing with the pen and then turning the stylus as if to keep the centre of it as close to the pad as possible (the most effective way was to take the nib in my off-hand, bring the stylus horizontal pracitcally lying on the pad, then standing it back up on its other end).
I've changed the attachment to a section of /var/log/messages where only these kinds of transitions are happening (draw a line, erase it, draw another erase it - the nib lightly scraped the pad a couple of times too as I was turning it).

I have no idea what .fdi I am using, I have been a bit left behind, can you suggest one?
