    Re: HOWTO INSTALL WIZARDPEN DRIVER FOR iball TABLET

    hi i have a little Problem with a Tablet.
    it is the same Problem as here

    http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linu...ers.wacom/6127
    and it seems to be solved.

    But i don't know how to do this:

    "
    You may also be able to redirect this tablet to use xf86-input-evdev instead. You'll lose ability to treat eraser as a different input device but it may at least work.
    "

    Hi Wasabi2007,

    Welcome to Ubuntu forums!

    Some more information would be helpful. What release of Ubuntu are you using? Also the output of some commands run in a terminal would be good. For example:
    Code:
    lsusb
    will have a line in the output with the tablet in it and that will give us the manufacturer and model ID. And:
    Code:
    xinput list
    will tell us the "device name" the tablet is using.

    Sorry for my harsh and short post. And Thank you for your welcome.

    At first I can not post the needed information at the moment, because it was a Laptop from a friend of mine and he needed it back.

    I wanted to make him this set-up but his tablet was not detected. So tried the Wizardpen Drivers and see there the tablet is detected.
    But the tablet didn't send any feedback. So i searched for that problem and found this mailing list conversation.
    It is the same Tablet device and the same error and it seemed to be solved by replacing the the "xf86-input-wacom" driver through "xf86-input-evdev".

    Unfortunately i have not enough linux/(k)ubuntu in deep knowledge to know were i have to replace the driver.

    Not a problem at all.

    I followed your link, but I really want to verify the Vendor ID = 172f = Waltop and the Product ID = 0502 from the lsusb.
    Code:
    Bus 002 Device 012: ID 172f:0502 Waltop International Corp. Sirius Battery Free Tablet
    See from Nick's site: http://digimend.sourceforge.net/ that Waltop model isn't included yet in the kernel: http://digimend.git.sourceforge.net/...=COMPATIBILITY And that is what they are saying on that thread you link too.

    Nick offers to add it to the kernel if the usbhid-dump information his site requests is sent to him and his kernel patch/driver is tested.

    You see the Waltop tablets are suppose to use the Wacom driver now, and tablets that don't use the Wacom X driver are suppose to use evdev. And that is suppose to happen automatically if the tablet is in the kernel. What you are asking about is the xorg.conf.d .conf (configuration) files. For the distribution the files would be in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. Custom .conf files by the user are suppose to go in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Here's some more information on xorg.conf.d .conf files: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...le=Xorg.conf.d

    But you should not have to make a custom file, it should happen automatically. It looks like the problem is that model of Waltop tablet is not yet in the kernel. In which case I don't think pressure, despite what is reported on that thread, would be working. Unless some generic hid kernel driver I don't know about processes unclaimed Waltop tablets. They are just transitioning to this system having just dropped the WizardPen driver for the evdev driver. And unfortunately a number of tablets are not in the kernel yet. They mainly seem to be KYE Systems tablets though.

    I think at Saturday or Sunday, I can deliver the device information.

    I hope we get that tablet to fly ^^

    And I hope there is some day in the Linux Future where are no driver Issues with new devices.

    Good. Now what does the tablet do? Does the stylus get recognized? In other words does the pointer arrow track the stylus tip?

    Although the 502 model is not in Nick's compatibility tablet (i.e. not yet in the kernel) the Wacom X driver xf86-input-wacom is picking the tablet up. That's why you see stylus, eraser, and pad appended to the device name in xinput list.

    You can verify that by posting the ouput in a terminal of:
    Code:
    xinput list-props 15
    And you should also see the tablet setting up on the Wacom driver in Xorg.0.log in /var/log.

            Wacom button action 3 (527):    1572867
    And the Tablet doesn't do anything visual Noticiable. The only thing that happens is that the tablet get automatically register. The stylus or the Tablet integrate Buttons doesn't seems to do anything.

    Re: HOWTO INSTALL WIZARDPEN DRIVER FOR iball TABLET

    From my understanding of how things are currently suppose to work and what you've showed it appears to me everything is working correctly.

    The 50-wacom.conf is correctly picking up the WALTOP keyword and configuring your tablet on the Wacom X driver which it is suppose to. As I said Waltops go to Wacom and the other tablets that used the former WizardPen driver are picked up by the 10-evdev.conf. So it is all happening as it should.

    The problem is of course your tablet's usb descriptor is not in the kernel. So values like ABS_PRESSURE or ABS_Z or whatever it is the Wacom driver is looking for are null. That's why there is no reaction to the stylus tip. No tracking, left click, and pressure.

    So to get it working you need to go to Nick's DIGImend sourceforge site and send in the information he requests on the link at the bottom of the site. You can see an example of the information on this post by viktoria.s, which she recently sent in for another tablet. Nick will tell you if the information is good or if he needs anything else. Then he'll make patches for the kernel and ask you to test them and if they are good he will submit them to the kernel so your tablet model is included for now on. So you get to help with linux kernel development!

    Patching the kernel sounds a little daunting but it isn't actually that hard and Nick will walk you through it. And I will try to help if you need me to.

    And by the way the hotkeys on the tablet don't work. No one has yet written code to get them working as far as I know. Maybe Nick is thinking about doing that at some point?
