    That's weird because for me, I have my actual tablet listed.
    You sure there isn't anything else in the drop down menu?

    Hello, first I want to say thank you so much for posting this. Anyway, I was on step four and I put wizardpen-calibrate /dev/input/event6 into the terminal and event device open: Permission denied is what I got. I'm not sure what to do now. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Thank you so much for this excellent how-to AlexDS! I've been fiddling with my Medion for 3 days now, and it works again! Woo woo!

    gah, spoke too soon- works only for a bit then goes wonky... have to unplug then plug in to get it working again... Actually works tip-wise until I click the button to pan, then it gets all messed up from there. any help would be appreciated! *actually it seems as though the pen button is scrolling through different button functions- switches up functions in a seemingly random manner.

    Hi guys,
    For Lunaea's post, try running it with super-user privileges.
    As for _jay_, is seems that it is still using the default driver from ubuntu. I don't remember how to remove it, but trying removing any wacom packages.
    Good luck.

    Does this method support hot-plugging?
    As in plugging-in the tablet without rebooting, so that the configuration reloads.

    Hi tudor117,

    As long as the WizardPen driver is handling the Waltop tablet properly it should. The udev/.conf file is the HAL/.fdi replacement.

    Hi Favux,
    So far, it hasn't seem to do so. I had a mistake in my conf but while hotplugging I got no error (safety feature maybe lol). However on a restart, the X server wouldn't start.

    I still have a problem however, the tablet still freezes randomly after clicking. Also, in gimp, sometimes there are weird wavy lines where there should be a smooth straight one. It all happens randomly.

    Here's xinput list:
    Code:
    ~$ xinput list
    ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
    ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet  	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ HID 0a5c:4503                           	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation        	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
        ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Power Button                            	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
        ↳ HID 0a5c:4502                           	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    Here's the conf file:
    Code:
    Section "InputClass"
    	Identifier "wizardpen"
    	MatchIsTablet "on" 
    	MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad|Waltop International Corp."	 #<----I added waltop from lsusb
    	#MatchProduct "WALTOP"   #lsusb didn't show waltop as product but as vendor
    	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-WALTOP_International_Corp._Slim_Tablet-event-mouse" #from ubuntu documentation
    	Driver "wizardpen" 
    #[CALIBRATION] 
    		#Option		"Device"	"/dev/input/event5"
    		#Option          "TopX"          "295"
    		#Option          "TopY"          "210"
    		#Option          "BottomX"       "20000"
    		#Option          "BottomY"       "12500"
    #[END CALIBRATION] 
    EndSection
    
    Section "InputClass" 
    	Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev" 
    	MatchIsTablet "on" 
    	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*" 
    	MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad|Waltop International Corp." 
    	#MatchProduct "WALTOP"
    	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-WALTOP_International_Corp._Slim_Tablet-mouse"
    	Driver "" 
    EndSection
    As you can see, I've removed the calibration because I didn't know what to put as the device. I don't like having a hardcoded path.

    Try my modified wizardpen.conf for the Waltop in post #5.

    Thanks alot, it works much better, as in the cursor doesn't freeze up and all the lines in gimp are smooth.
    But there's something very weird; the buttons randomly switch. Sometimes, the click or stylus tip just stops working and the other two buttons (which are now distinct buttons) randomly switch roles. So if one is the top is right-click and the bottom is middle-click, they become inversed: top is middle-click and bottom is right-click.
    I've tested it in gimp, blender, and on the ubuntu desktop.

    Also in gimp, you can't use the mouse when using the tablet.
