Install Wizardpen driver for Iball tablet

[whitered]

failed to make my G-Pen 560 work. after all actions I can move cursor in wrong area in top left part of the screen (and bottom right part of the tablet). calibration ran fine.
I think the problem in my xorg.conf file, it does not contain ServerLayout section, and when I try to add it, the system loads in low-graphics mode. here is the xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	24
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load	"glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Default Device"
	Driver	"nvidia"
	Option	"NoLogo"	"True"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"G-Pen"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Driver		"wizardpen"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/input/by-id/usb-KYE_SYSTEM_Corp._G-Pen-event-if00"
	Option		"TopX"		"81"
	Option		"TopY"		"295"
	Option		"BottomX"	"11999"
	Option		"BottomY"	"8999"
	Option		"MaxX"		"11999"
	Option		"MaxY"		"8999"
EndSection

so how should I add ServerLayout section?

Hi
After yhe advent of .fdi, The tablet and the machine communucate through .fdi
In your .fdi please edit the following line

<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenX" type="string">1920</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ScreenY" type="string">1080</merge>

The numbers in red should correspond to your resolution.I think it should solve your problem

[whitered]

It didn't help

Hi whitered,

Based on your xorg.conf so far and the fact that you chose "G-Pen" as the identifier it should look like:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
	InputDevice	"G-Pen"		"SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

You can add it below the rest of the stuff. You were probably leaving out the video lines.

A sample xorg.conf is on this thread at post #74.

Thank you Favux. I've found that there is duplicate data in xorg.conf and 99-x11-wizardpen.fdi files. I restored the original xorg.conf and changed the .fdi file to make it correspond the calibrate results, so everything works fine now.
The only thing I was unable to do is to make my pen buttons work. I've tryed

xinput set-buttons-map

with no results.

Hi,
I've installed the driver (compiled it for 64bit) with checkinstall (I dislike make install..).

@:~$ ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.la

                        </match>
                </device>
        </deviceinfo>

(I've tried it with/without x11_optionsScreenX/Y and info.product)

So - I've got mystical problems with my tablet:
The whole area doesnt work, except touching on the left or right border which moves my mouse into the top-right corner - triggering a normal mouseclick...
My screen-resolution by the way is 1680x1050 and my xorg.conf is only filled with GPU-settings...

Driver compiled on Karmic 64 working perfectly well with WizardPen but when Rhythmbox starts playing music tablet stops working.

I couldn't find in logs anything that will point to the problem.

Help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Yueka
I do not know your problem. Please contact Favux

Hi
This sounds strange, Iam hearing this for first time

Hi

Indeed it does. I have no idea where to start looking at. The first idea was that it might have something with audio configuration but I disregarded that option since system sounds, flash player, etc. are played without interference with WizardPen. Further on, only opening of Rhythmbox will knockout tablet after few seconds. Perhaps I might contact Rhythmbox develepers.
