#266 can't map buttons Wacom Bamboo Create

[andrew]

I am running Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 and I just bought a Wacom Bamboo Create for my cousin for Christmass. I also have a Wacom wacom cintiq 12wx and am using it as a monitor(don't know if that is a bad thing to do or not?)

I wanted to test it out before I gave it to him to make sure it works. He is going to run this on Windows so this will not be a problem for him but I wanted to submit this bug.

I went to the Wacom Tablet settings in my system setting and there are now two tablets to choose from. Under Wacom Bamboo 16FG 6x8 Pen there is no map buttons button for me to configure these buttons. There is a map monitor button.

I found [1] so I know I can Map the Buttons manually, but i figured. it would be best to have a button for users that are not comfortable with the command line. I attached a screen shot of what my screen looks like.

P.S. I really love what you have done with the new visual button mapping. It makes it so much easier. Thank you so much for this it was really hard to figure out which label correlates to which button before.

It looks like this particular model is not described in the libwacom database. That shouldn't be too difficult to address*, though [bugs:#244] describes a different issue that you'll probably also have to deal with (though it mentions a workaround). Much of the control center feedback should be directed to the GNOME project, since they wrote much of the code (and basically all the nifty visual mapping bits).

*If you feel up for it, you could download the libinput definition and SVG for its smaller cousin and update them to match your tablet (at minimum the USB ID will need changing: I believe its 056a:00df for yours). Save the updated files to /usr/share/libwacom/ and /usr/share/libwacom/layouts respectively, and restart.
