Hi, not sure if this is a good list to ask, but yesterday I installed the following package onto my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop to get it to work with my new Bamboo Pen & Touch - it should be just a build of linuxwacom (which is why I'm asking here): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/wacom-plus sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install wacom-dkms xf86-input-wacom It seemed to be working fine, but today, while I can still get a mouse to move around and left-click on things, it's not quite working properly. Some symptoms: - right-/middle-clicks don't work - `xsetwacom list devices` shows nothing/is empty - clicking causes the mouse pointer to disappear - it comes back if I move the stylus out of the field and back in Any ideas what's going on, and how I might fix this? Thanks in advance for any answers. |

Hi Yang Zhang, I would use IRIE's PPA because he seems to keep it more up to date. His last update for xf86-input-wacom was only about a week ago. Admittedly 0.11.0 just came out but I'd anticipate he'll update soon: https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/wacom Plus he uses xinput-wacom which you may need to get a working wacom.ko for your Bamboo if it is one of the 5 new ones. Entering 'lsusb' will give you the Vendor and Product ID's so you can tell. I'm not sure DoctorMO's PPA supports the 5 new ones because I think he is still using a wacom.ko from linuxwacom. Although since you are seeing pointer tracking I guess usb communication has been established. So uninstall his PPA including the DKMS stuff if you want to try IRIE's. Or you could do it manually using the Bamboo P&T HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 Another thing is that for some reason the 10-wacom.conf seems to have been inadvertently removed from some Lucid systems through some packaging error with an update a few weeks ago. So check that you have one at /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d and make sure it's contents are normal. You can use the one on the Bamboo HOW TO if you need to. I'm guessing your tablet isn't on the wacom driver but is on the evdev driver instead which is why 'xsetwacom list' is empty. You could check in Xorg.0.log.

Great. Your lsusb shows the product ID is 00d1 which is the the original Bamboo Pen and Touches and the linuxwacom wacom.ko works for it. I don't know what's going on with the wacom.conf and why they haven't fixed it yet. I should check for a Launchpad bug report instead of just assuming someone's reported it I suppose.

I couldn't find a Launchpad bug report so I filed one. Favux |
