Install Wizardpen driver for Iball tablet

[drpjkurian]

Tested successfully on Jaunty with my AIPTEK HyperPen 10000 U which identifies itself as "UC-LOGIC TWA60".

I just had to use "UC-LOGIC TWA60" in the "info.product" line of the .fdi file and changed the various values according to my calibration output

Driver		"wizardpen"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/input/event12"
	Option		"TopX"		"553"
	Option		"TopY"		"2861"
	Option		"BottomX"	"39262"
	Option		"BottomY"	"25884"
	Option		"MaxX"		"39262"
	Option		"MaxY"		"25884"

Hi Andreas

Thank you very much for informing. I will definitely update my post..

WOW thanks for the instructions.

Unfortunately I went in weird panic after rebooting and seeing that all of my desktop was messed up!!!

At the beginning, the desktop didn't load. So I rebooted and my panels disappeared, no right mouse click, just the possibility of rebooting.

So, after a couple of reboots, I decided to change my desktop resolution (downgraded and upgraded it) and the situation got considerably better. The situation was completely restored at the following reboot.

Ubuntu 9.10 - kernel 2.6.31-16-generic

Hi Tollkirk

Please see the post #18. The problem of knyazz was solved by editing the .fdi file.
So please check out your .fdi file and edit it if required. I presume that your driver is installed without any glitches.

Let me know if you need help in editing .fdi

Dr Kurian

Thanks for your response. Yes - the drivers are correctly installed. My .fdi is as follows -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- This MUST match with the name of your tablet obtained -->
<!-- in Step 2 specified previously -->
<match key="info.product" contains="UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wizardpen</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>

<!-- Modify these configuration accordingly -->
<!-- See CONFIGURATION OPTIONS section for the full-set of -->
<!-- configurable options -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopX" type="string">2199</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TopY" type="string">3598</merge>

<merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>


Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I just installed the same tablet on another Ubuntu 9.10 PC and it did not mess up my desktop.
Maybe because of the different video card.
My "messing" one is Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07).

I forgot to check the type of the "non messing" video card.

Hi Tollkirk

Please overhaul your .fdi file by using the command

gksudo gedit  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi

Delete every thing in it and paste the following text in it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
            <deviceinfo version="0.2">

That fixed it! Thanks ever so much for spending time on this one - you're a real credit to the Ubuntu community!

Hey everything works just fine!
Had to compile from source, the package is i386 and I'm amd_64... I'm used to Slakware & Gentoo, so that's no problem.

The problem I'm having is that I have a dual screen setup and of course the tablet runs across both screens, naturally. This however BADLY messes up the aspect ratio, both screens are 1920x1080.

I'm looking for a way to constrain the tablet to one screen only. The aspect ratio still won't be perfect, but it'll be a *whole lot better*

Now that xorg has gone to the whole dynamic loading, I really don't know what to change; I've spent way too long in windows the last couple years...

(and don't get me started about how KDE doesn't like dual monitors... -> technically, kubuntu)

Google has lots of answers for a WACOM tablet, using wacom programs which obviously won't work here.

Any ideas?

Hi Thomas

Hmmm....., This seems to be beyond my capacity to solve it. Well... How about discussing this issue with Favux ? He is better than me in solving tablet issues.
