Hi, xorg-1.4 is now in Debian Sid and on its way to becoming a stable release candidate. Is the 0.7.8-3 release going to be ok for people to use with that, or should I wait for the next snapshot to be made?

Hi, I just checked/compiled with the latest from X.org, and the latest from=20 linuxwacom, and it would seem that the workarounds I did some time ago make= s=20 the driver usable as a mouse replacement. I get a compilation error though= =20 (wcmCommon.c:1099), and I'm not sure at the moment how to get hold of the=20 DeviceIntPtr for the specific check or if it's needed at all. Using gimp and other programs that reads data directly from the extended=20 device will currently not work very well though (my scribbles ended up in t= he=20 top-left corner in my image if I put the image-window there too). I have an old(?) bug reported about this [1] so I'll get over to the xorg l= ist=20 and see what they think about how this should be handled...

Hi, There's a problem with 1.4 regarding the reporting of the X&Y coordinates [= 1]=20 which will be fixed in 1.4.1 [2]. In the current state (if the compile error is removed) the tablet is only=20 usable as a mouse replacement. For proper function in Gimp and other apps=20 that opens the device directly we need to change what the max-values are on= =20 x&y to the actual size of the screen size. Even if we fix this Gimp would still be affected as you have to restart it = if=20 the screen size is changed and sub-pixel movement can't be reported. I also= =20 don't know at the moment if/how we should be able to determine which scale= =20 should be used on these coordinates based on the xserver version. I'll keep monitoring the xorg list and will make patches as soon as the nee= ded=20 1.4.1 changes are made. Well, that's the long-term... Do you consider the above limitations small=20 enough so it'll be worth to make the changes to max-x/y for a short-term fi= x?

Hi Magnus, Thanks for taking care of this support. Your patch [ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=3Ddetail&aid=3D1802964&group_= id=3D69596&atid=3D525126 ] definitely fixes the compiling error. But, I'd like to wait until we can support pressure sensitive applications, such as Gimp, before incorporating your patch. A mouse replacement isn't the reason that we use Wacom tablet. Am I right?

Ok, another two patches are up that should fix it for Xorg 7.3. I know of one thing that won't work with this patch, screen resizes. But it= 's=20 either this patch or not have it working at all... I wouldn't be surprised if there are other new limitations even if the chan= ges=20 in the code were made as near the calls into the X-server as possible. But= =20 once we get the rescale-hooks back it should get better again. Cheers Magnus |

Hi, Thanks Magnus, I've just had a follow up reporting success (caveat's about scaling support and xorg 1.4.1 noted) with your latest patch. Will we need to change anything more for xorg 1.4.1, or will their fix automatically correct the scaling issue with this source? I'll have a chat to the Debian xorg maintainers... they may be able to pull that change into their tree early if it will help. Ping, if these look good to you, can we please get a new point release out and I'll get this bundled for a distro release. If its the best we can do until 1.4.1 comes along, its still significantly better than degrading to simple mouse functionality. Cheers!

I think they'll work even when Xorg adds a way of scaling things=20 again..

Thanks Ping. It looks like there isn't actually a patch for the scaling in the xorg repo yet, but I have got confirmation from the Debian xorg maintainers that they will cherry pick it into our current 1.4 release as soon as there is. If the worst that happens in the meantime is that the pointer moves more or less than it should when people resize their screen, then it shouldn't be too terrible, will hopefully be fairly self evident how to correct, and may not actually effect too many people in reality. Having a released driver that needs it might motivate upstream xorg to act reasonably quickly too ;) Best, Ron On Mon, Oct 01, 2007 at 09:30:05AM -0700, Ping@LinuxWacom wrote: > Ron, > > I will make a new beta release, 0.7.9-1?, once we get positive > feedback from Magnus. > > Ping > > On 9/30/07, Ron <ro...@de...> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Thanks Magnus, I've just had a follow up reporting success (caveat's > > about scaling support and xorg 1.4.1 noted) with your latest patch. > > Will we need to change anything more for xorg 1.4.1, or will their > > fix automatically correct the scaling issue with this source? > > I'll have a chat to the Debian xorg maintainers... they may be able > > to pull that change into their tree early if it will help. > > > > Ping, if these look good to you, can we please get a new point release > > out and I'll get this bundled for a distro release.

That could explain why the scaling stuff wasn= 't=20 kept in the dix-rework and hotplug-introduction made for 1.4 in the first=20 place. Hmmm 'quickly'... I did file a bug for this issue back in mid-March, so it'= s=20 been known for a while. I do know they've been busy with the hotplug work s= o=20 I guess they had to prioritize something for 1.4, delayed as it was. Anyway, I'm glad a rescaling interface (old or new) will be back in 1.4.1. = And=20 in the meantime I'll start looking into how much we need to change the driv= er=20 for making it compatible with the new hotplugging code in the server. Just= =20 before my break I found that the init/open/close/delete code would need som= e=20 serious thoughts to it if it should work with old/new X.org and XFree86.. A= nd=20 then we have the support applications around it to be able to configure the= =20 whole range of possibilities the driver provides. In a user-friendly fashio= n=20 of course :) Oh yeah, possitive feedback.. The patch works for me, and with Ron reportin= g a=20 success as well I don't see a problem committing them. I think it would be= =20 nice to try this on a twinview setup though (as I don't have any, config or= =20 experience). I don't see that there should be a problem, but...
