Tablet PC's Wacom jumps to top left corner

rcxAsh

I've managed to set up the Wacom digitizer on my Tablet PC successfully by following various sources online.

It works, but whenever I pull the pen away from the screen, the cursor jumps to the upper left-hand corner of the screen. It's quite annoying, and can be potentially dangerous, as I have my window manager following focus by mouse hover.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sounds like you have a wrong mousedevice linked in your xorg configuration. Try to change between /Dev/psaux and the /dev/input/* devices. You also need to have the event interface in your kernel.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Tablet PCs use a serial interface. So I am not using the /dev/input/ stuff for it.

I am using /dev/ttyS0. No other ttySNs seem to work. Catting them while moving the stylus gives nothing (in fact, most of the respond with an input/output error). Catting ttyS0, however (what I am using), reacts to any pen movement.

The thing is, the pen is working flawlessly except for the fact that the cursor jumps back to 0,0 when I pull it away from the screen.

I have the same problem on my toshiba m200. Is this just how the wacom driver works or does anyone's mouse pointer stay were you were last pointing?
