[SOLVED] Property 'Wacom Rotation' does not exist in Intuos4

I have a little problem setting up my Wacom Intuos 4 graphic tablet.

I have a Gentoo Linux Kernel 3.12.13 and set CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=y and CONFIG_HID_WACOM=y as required.
I installed x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom (version 0.23.0) and dev-libs/libwacom (version 0.7.1)

The Intuos 4 tablet and the stylus show up and work in GIMP, but as I'm a lefty, I need to rotate the tablet by 180 degrees.

But that's what I get when I try the rotate option:

I have a bamboo wacom tablet.
When I do xsetwacom --list parameters I don't see anything about rotation.
However I installed kde-misc/wacomtablet which in kde system settings allows me to rotate it.
I'm not a lefty but I wanted the USB cable to be on the right,closer to the box and not clutter my desk.
Hope this is of any use to you.

Thank you for the idea. The only drawback is that I only use fluxbox and don't have kde installed on my system. Is there a way to use wacomtablet via fluxbox?

Hi stayka,
I am using kde for about 10 years now.
I tried razor-qt but althoug it could be mixed with many kde programs wacomtablet couldn't be set.
There is now lxqt which might.
Lxde and razor-qt teamed up.
Qt is needed to run kde apps.
Fluxbox I've never used,if it's not qt based it will never run wacomtablet.

Well, I'm using fluxbox ever since I had Gentoo Linux, which is quite a while now, too, but I have to admit I never checked whether it is qt-based or not *sheepish grin*.

If I would emerge kdebase-meta, could I then somehow run this wacomtablet application as standalone somehow? I have to admit, I haven't fully understood what exactly it is in the first place as there is no manual entry for "wacomtablet" nor is there any possibility to just run it somehow.

Plse take a look at the link.
It also has an icon for your panel.
When you right click it it'll bring up the configure window from system-settings.

Aaaaarggllll.... I finally found the solution and it is totally trivial... My thanks go to Favux from ubuntuforums.org. Also thanks to you, gerard82, for your time and patience! *bows*

So here's the solution:

The pad does not rotate. Instead use stylus which will also rotate the eraser.

So using
