Re: [Linuxwacom-discuss] How to find out what is really supported on 056a:00e6

[Favux ... <fav...@gm...>]

Hi Maximilian,

While wacom.ko kernel support has been added for more than 2 FGT with
some Wacom devices that have it available the X driver,
xf86-input-wacom (the xserver-xorg-input-wacom package), only supports
2FGT.  To support more than 2FGT you would need to place your
multitouch screen on another X driver that does support more than 2FGT
multitouch, say either the evdev or synaptic driver maybe.  So a
custom .conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to take it away from the
Wacom driver.

Run 'xinput list' in a terminal and check the device names.  There is
probably a separate event for the touchscreen which contains Finger
since the X230t has a usb internal connection.  'Finger' is likely the
keyword you would want to use for matching in the .conf file.

Check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to get your touchscreen coordinates.  You
might also want to get them by running xinput_calibrator for touch.
Might need them for the .conf file.

PS:  I should add though that multitouch for the N-Trig digitizer
seems broken with the switch from ginn to geis.  It's always had many
finger multitouch and starting with Natty and the Utouch stack we were
able to get 4FGT working with ginn.  However with the changeover to
geis it is not clear to me that anyone has it working for multitouch.
You might want to look into installing touchegg.  Also the Ubuntu
multitouch wiki:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/
