I followed the directions from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wacom_Tablet which say: Graphire4 buttons You will probably need linuxwacom 0.7.4 or higher for this to work with xorg 7. Add the following line to the "ServerLayout" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: InputDevice "pad" "SendCoreEvents" Note: I came across info advising NOT to add "SendCoreEvents" to the line. However without it the buttons will not work. In combination with the ButtonsOnly option -see below- the problems described elsewhere will not occur. Then you will need to add an InputDevice section. Here is what I have in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. File: xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "pad" Driver "wacom" Option "Type" "pad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" Option "ButtonsOnly" "on" Option "Button9" "2" Option "Button13" "3" Option "USB" "on" EndSection The important option is the one with "ButtonsOnly" "on". Without this option as soon as you activate any button on the pad the pointer will jump to the top left corner of the screen. Since there is nothing to scroll there the wheel on the pad will not seem to work. With the ButtonsOnly option the wheel on the pad should work. To get the other two buttons to do something usefull they need to be mapped. I got the Button9 and Button13 info by running: # xidump pad in a terminal and pressing the buttons on the pad. Do this before you map the buttons. This made the wheel and buttons work. Daniel, there's an updated version of linuxwacom on F7 testing updates repository. Please try only using the configuration I provided in that BZ# and tell me how it goes. Daniel, any news on this one? I'm closing this one. if you still have problems, please feel free to reopen it. |
