 |
|
Hello, this is my first post so forgive me if i sound like a rookie here.
I just installed gentoo this week. all my devices are set correctly, including sound, but i can't get my graphics tablet to work. I followed the instructions given here and downloaded the driver from this place. I copied the contents of this tar.gz file to /usr/share/wizardpen-driver-0.0.2 where i executed (as root)
| Code: |
xmkmf
make
make install |
I located my udev rules file and inserted | Code: | | BUS="usb", KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{product}="UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="tablet" |
I got the product name by looking at dmesg
i then appended to xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "tablet"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "Device" "/dev/tablet"
EndSection
|
and also | Code: | | InputDevice "tablet" "AlwaysCore" |
under "ServerLayout" section.
My kernel has been compiled with support for USB, USB Human Interface Device (full HID), HID input layer support and /dev/hiddev raw HID device support. Also i included Event Interface under Input Device Support. Ok, now for the problem:
Upon restarting X, mouse works correctly but everywhere i move my pen the cursor resets to the upper-left position. I am considering the possibility of a mistyped coordinates under wizardpen.c on the driver. Also i can see the output of my tablet under a terminal on X by issuing:
everywhere i move it displays something, and even clicking displays some output with different pressure levels. However, the cursor does not leave the upper-left corner.
Could someone help me? This tablet is a last step in an attempt to fully migrate my design company to full a open-source solution. 
Also, forgive me for my lousy english, it's not my first language  |

i also forgot to add the fact that even as the cursor is on the upper-left corner i can use it to click on my GNOME applications menu by using the right-mouse (!) buttom.  |

A nicely done ebuild here https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121671
if at least i can afford it... the cheapeast wacom here cost about 10 times this tablet.
too much for some eventual drawing. |

Well... I don't know if this is still relevant to you, but I got the following information from the WizardPen Driver FAQ:
| Quote: | Cursor is jumping into Upper-Right corner.
Make sure your XF86Config (or xorg.conf) does not contain /dev/input/mice (mice is driver which unites all input devices into one file). If it does, replace it by proper /dev/input/mouseX.
Also read README in wizardpen driver version >= 0.0.3. |
