xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19 Package xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-4904/xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19 then log in and leave karma (feedback). It works! I am able to use this package successfully and do not notice any significant problems. The driver updated and everything is detected and working. Possibly working even better than it did before (compared to when all I had was the old working version, xorg-x11-drv-wacom.0.21.0-1.fc19). In addition to allowing me to finally update to the latest driver without having my tablet's stylus disappear, updating appears to have fixed a nasty bug I had previously encountered in GIMP where enabling pressure sensitivity broke GIMP. Now it works! Previously if I went into GIMP's preferences and changed the input mode for stylus from disabled to screen (enabling pressure sensitivity) I would be always be stuck in straight line mode (same as what happens if you hold shift, even though I wasn't holding shift at the time). This made coloring an image very difficult/impossible. Now everything works and straight line mode is only activated if I actually hold the shift key. I don't know if this is the update that fixed it, but since this update was the only change I made and that bug hasn't shown up since, I'm giving you the credit. Thank you! - I've done as instructed and left you positive karma. I do hope this update gets pushed into stable ASAP so that anyone else with this problem won't have to worry about it. To clarify: I obviously meant to say that the new xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19 (the one you uploaded to the Fedora 19 testing repository) is working for me and has completely fixed my issue. The previous version (xorg-x11-drv-wacom.i686 0:0.23.0-4.fc19 ) which was available on stable when I did "yum update" is still broken. It is my hope this new version can get pushed onto stable. Thank you for fixing this so quickly :) xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.23.0-5.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: I have one of those laptop/tablet PCs that allows the use of a tablet pen with a stylus and eraser (not a touchscreen) on the screen. After restarting my computer following an update on Apr 5 2014, the stylus no longer worked on my laptop. If I go into gnome 3 settings--wacom tablet I even get a message saying no tablet detected. Furthermore, if I go into terminal and type: $xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ALPS PS/2 Device id=11 [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)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Toshiba input device id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] They are no longer even listed. Previously it said: $ xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ALPS PS/2 Device id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 stylus id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 eraser 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)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Toshiba input device id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] Downgrading to xorg-x11-drv-wacom.0.21.0-1.fc19 fixes the problems. But I'd prefer being able to use the latest version of the driver for obvious reasons. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-wacom.i686 0:0.23.0-4.fc19 How reproducible: Every time I reboot after updating the xorg-x11-drv-wacom driver and want to use my stylus! Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install fedora 19 /or simply/ $ yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-wacom.i686 to get the old version (xorg-x11-drv-wacom.0.21.0-1.fc19) on laptop. 2.Reboot -- everything works. 2.yum update 3.Reboot -- stylus no longer works as expected and is not even detected on machine Actual results: no tablet pen or stylus is detected on my machine. Expected results: Stylus and eraser are detected and everything works as it did before updating. Additional info: Laptop model: Toshiba Portege M400
