#357 buttons on Wacom intuos CTH-490

[Gerard Berto]

Hello,

Sorry if I don't post in the right category, but I've a problem with a Wacom intuos CTH-490. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.3 so the kernel is 4.13.0-26-generic. The return of lspci is:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 056a:033c Wacom Co., Ltd
The tablet is recognized but buttons aren't recognized. As there is a bug on ubuntu ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1575887 )
I must use xsetwacom to try to map buttons.

xsetwacom list devices
Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Pad pad         id: 8   type: PAD       
Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Pen stylus      id: 9   type: STYLUS    
Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Finger touch    id: 10  type: TOUCH     

I tried

xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Pad pad" Button 1 3
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Pad pad" Button 1 "core key ctrl z"
for i in `seq 1 20`; do xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos PT S 2 Pad pad" Button $i 3; done

and buttons don't work.
Now, I can't resize with two fingers but I don't know if
I think it's a bug because this tablet seems to be supported.

Thank you in advance

It sounds like you're reporting two issues? 1) "buttons don't work" and 2) "can't resize with two fingers"? If that's the case, please open a second issue about resizing so that it is easier to keep track of things.

You're correct that xsetwacom will need to be used to configure the buttons in your particular environment. The commands you've listed should do something. The first should set one of the buttons (I can't remember which) to right-click, the second should cause the "z" key to be pressed (if you want it to send CTRL+Z you should use "key +ctrl z" instead), and the third should set every button to right-click. If the buttons don't work regardless of the command that you run, it is possible that the unity-settings-daemon is conflicting with xsetwacom. You might try following the advice at the bottom of this page. The instructions talk about "gnome-settings-daemon", but it might be called "unity-settings-daemon" in your particular case.

Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you very much, it works!
Now, buttons can be set.
