Hello, I have a wacom bamboo pen tablet that was working great until recently. Now when ever I touch the stylus to the tablet it causes the cursor to freeze and lag behind. Running 10.04
View 7 RepliesMy Wacom tablet's cursor skips around the screen and makes it impossible to use. Is there a way to use wacom-tools (wacomcpl) to fix this? Or, is there any known way to fix this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm running netbook remix on a eeepc 1005ha. It is my only OS and Im loving it except for one obnoxious quirk. It randomly cuts text and randomly pastes it. If there is something in the clipboard, it will usually paste that, but just as often it will cut random text and paste that. The pastes occur when the cursor focus jumps back to the location of the cursor on the screen. I dont know a better way to phrase that, but thats what it is doing. Say... I put the cursor over the word "pastes" in the paragraph above... even though Im typing in this paragraph, the focus will "jump" to the cursors physical locale (the word "pastes") and then paste whatever is in the clipboard. If the cursor is outside of the textbox, the page will jump to the bottom.
This behavior occurs across programs and in any place text can be entered. I can find no rhyme or reason for it... it just... happens. Sometimes even when Im away from my computer, so its not like Im hitting some key on accident. I have loved everything about this ubuntu distro, but this issue is just toany obnoxious. Writing psych papers on this thing is going to be near impossible if I dont get this fixed before I go back to school.
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 fresh installation on my HP laptop. Installation successful and boot OK. But the desktop randomly freeze. During freeze(about 15s each time), all programs are not responsive. Sometimes I can switch program by click, but program seems locked. How can I know which module cause the freeze?

It's awesome EXCEPT for this busy cursor thing.As soon as I log in, all the time my cursor is the spinning wheel of busyness.... It works just as a normal cursor would - my computer also does not seem to be slower due to any operations.If I open an application, the cursor will behave as usual within the window but if I more my cursor to the title bar or switch out of the application, the "busy cursor" resumes.

1) xsetwacom set "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button1 "key core pgup" But I receive msg: Invalid key 'CORE'
2) xsetwacom set "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button1 "core key pgup" (swapping core and key keywords) But I receive msg: Invalid key 'pgup'
I tested also using pagup instead of pgup with the same results; so I used xsetwacom list mod in order to see which modifiers could be used, but unlikely i got the msg: unknown argument to list
UPDATE: If I send xsetwacom set "Wacom BambooFun 2FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button1 "CORE KEY ALT F2" all works fine! I'm lost.
I am trying to get my Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet to work on my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. Right now when I plug it in the light lights up and gets brighter when I touch the pen to the surface (as it should), but the mouse does not move. I have installed xserver-xorg-input-wacom package. In researching the problem, I found this thread:[url]
But when I downloaded the kernel driver mentioned in that post, it told me that it was only for xorg servers previous to 1.7, and that I was running too recent a version. From what I can tell, the "proper" version for my xorg server is the version I already have installed from Ubuntu. I am not sure what to do now... should I try to compile the newest driver in the 10.* series from linuxwacom, despite the fact that it seems to be only one minor version away from the current installation I have?

The new Wacom Bamboo Pen (CTL-460) doesn�t work in Ubuntu Lucid out-of-the-box. You need a newer kernel module than the one that comes with Lucid by default. It�s pretty easy to get it working though, you just need to know how.
First, install some compiling tools and header files:
Code:
Code:
Now unpack, configure compile and install it:
Code:
# I know this is the wrong version, but it's the highest available and it works
Code:
The tablet should work now. You can also add the module name to /etc/modules to automatically load it on boot.
He also says (and I can confirm) that the gray lines are the new borders of the tablet. A little annoying, but I imagine one could configure that, too.
I have a wacom pen and touch tablet and am running 10.4 what is the easy way to install and get it working?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've sifted through the forums, tried various how-to's and still am unable to get my intuos 4 working properly in Ubuntu 10.04x64. It's recognized as a device, and the driver seems to be loaded however I don't see anything when I type in "wacomcpl". Furthermore, when I move the pen, it reacts but as soon as I push down on that pad (as a mouse click), it freezes the cursor. When I push down again or push a button it will free the cursor until I release a button. Then it freezes again.
I'm currently using xorg.conf for my configuration.
When I try using "xsetwacom", I receive:
Error (2): WacomConfigOpenDevice: No such device
I've tried compiling and replacing wacom.ko but doesn't seem to affect it.
When I switch my KVM over to my Ubuntu box, the Wacom tablet causes X to crash about 1 out of every 4 times. I will usually see what I'm supposed to for a split second, get a blank screen and/or command line for a second, then I'm back at the login screen.
Xorg.4.log: (EE) Wacom Graphire4 4x5: Error reading wacom device : No such device
If the tablet is plugged directly into the KVM, it crashes every time. Instead, I have the tablet plugged into my Mac laptop, which is itself plugged into the KVM (TrendNet USB w/audio).
I have a Fujitsu Stylistic st6012 tablet with a wacom digitizer built in. With UNE 10.04 the stylus was working fine, the buttons/rocker did left and right clicks.After upgrading to 10.10 the stylus was still working, but the buttons were not.I could click by tapping with the stylus, but to access menus in applications, or even shutdown menu, I have to keep pressing the stylus against the tablet. If I just tap, the menu will appear for a brief millisecond and then disappear again. Like what happens when you double-click with a mouse.
After some searching I have managed to get the stylus buttons to work - setting button closest to the tip as leftclick and the other as rightclick.The clicking works as expected inside applications, and when the applications menu-bar is on a line of its own - not on the same line as close, minimise, maximise, tray-icons, shutdown... In applications where the menu is moved up on the same line as close/minimise/maximise.the clicking must be done by click-hold - if I click-release the menu would go away.So that is problem number 1. Not sure if it is Maximus that is creating the top panel?
Next, the even bigger problem:The leftside icons menu introduced with UNE 10.10 is not behaving well with my stylus.Sometimes the very first tap/click on an icon launches that application. Subsequent taps/clicks on ANY icon does nothing. Only nudges the icon,scrolls the bar slightly or nothing at all.Other times not even the first tap/click launches anything. This makes the OS and my tablet utterly useless After getting the stylus buttons to work, rightclicks actually works on the icon-bar (unity?), bringing up the menu with name and Remove from Launcher options. But it does not respond to taps or leftclicks - other than making the rightclick-menu disappear.NOTE: the icons-bar and menus work as they should using an external mouse, so the problem must be related to the wacom stylus.
Here is some values from xsetwacom:

I finished installing a Wacom Bamboo CTL-460 pen & tablet (USB) and it's working. THing is, I'd like to know where/how I can configure what the buttons do. According to my g/f, while browsing she could hold down the equivalent of the mouse's left-click button and use that to quickly scroll down (kind of like the middle button in the mouse but holding it down).

I have been recently using the GIMP, transferring from adobe photoshop. and the truth is i have been pleasantly surprised with GIMP, especially when comparing prices from the two. Anyway the one thing i have not been able to do, that i assume is possible is make a brush that i am able to sketch with with my wacom tablet.
what i mean by this is in adobe i was able to create a brush that would react affectively to the pressure senstivity and i would get nice realistic looking sketches that looked like pencil sketches. when i barley pressed on my tablet i would be light and when i pressed hard i was able to get the black line needed. i have messed around with the pressure settings on the brushes but havent noticed any difference when i press hard on my tablet or barely press at all.
I have a wacom graphire3 tablet and two monitors. The tablet is workin properly with out of the box drivers.
As well as the dual monitors configured as twinview through Nvidia X server. But the tablet is mapped for the two screens, then I searched the forums for a proper configuration and it it tells me to edit the xorg.conf file for twinview horizontal but, it don't make any difference. I've "sudo gedit" edited the xorg.conf and nothing happens. Nothing, the tablet is working properly, the system is stable and it's still mapped for two screens.
What can I do? The xorg.conf also isn't listing all my hardware, I can't see the confs for my mouse. I'm on karmic koala.
I'm trying to configure my Wacom tablet in Ubuntu (9.4) and it's working pretty well!
I have one issue though.
In Windows (with the Wacom drivers) I have the option to set both Mouse Speed and Mouse Acceleration (see attached screen shot). I normally like to increase acceleration and decrease speed.
In Linux (with xsetwacom) I can only find one, SpeedLevel. Is it so, or are there any other way to configure it?
I am running Kubuntu 10.10 x64, using a Wacom Bamboo (CTH-460), I installed it by compiling the driver and moving the file as in every tutorial I could find in the Internet. The pen works perfectly, except by the fact I use TwinView and the tablet uses all the width, too sensitive. but this is something I plan to fix later... (pressure is OK)
the problem is the touch.. It almost works, right click, zoom and scroll support is ok, I believe there is no support to rotation but I can live without it... The problem is the cursor movement, seems to be a sensitivity issue. If I move very slow there is no problem, but if i move a little faster the cursor stops as if I had removed the finger from the sensor. When I try to scroll or zoom I have a similar problem, it moves an inch before it start to scroll as if it wasn't sensing the second finger, but right click is perfect so I don't think this is the problem.
Would this be a bug? Is there a way to calibrate the touch sensor? I remember editing the xorg.conf to make the touch fit the screen size in a HP Tx2510us, and to make two finger scroll on to touch pad but it was in 8.10 I believe, I cant find something like it for this problem. wacomcpl cant see the device, xsetwacom list returns nothing... xinput list returns this:

I've installed Krita in Kubuntu 11.04 and while GIMP works fine with the Wacom tablet (so Xorg is configured properly), Krita responds to the tablet pen as if it was a mouse (so on/off, no pressure sensitivity at all).
I've found old topics about bugs in Qt 4.6 but since we are now using 4.7, I assume those have been fixed?

Though, i downloaded and built linuxwacom-0.8.8-11
completes without any problem, then copy
Does this mean the module isn't working?
I got a bamboo tablet, CTL-460. Supported under linux wacom project. The hardware ID from lsusb is below:
056a:00d4
I also added this line to the right file. (ATM i forget what that file is, but i'll edit it later.) This was found in other posts on forums.opensuse.org
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"
My question is, now what? the other posts involved recompiling the drivers, kernel, and mixing files and stuff like that. I'd prefer to avoid compiling anything, and use you use X11 wacom packages, which I currently have installed.
I did try editing Xorg.conf to what the official how to says, and it just flat out failed, had to roll it back.
I Figured xorg or one of those similar files has to be edited, modprobe must be probed, and then something to start the tablet when plugged in?
I did try to compile the kernel and stuff, but it was very confusing and didn't work either, clearly.
Anyone here actually gotten the CTL-460 to work? If so, mind posting your xorg.conf and any other files?
I just got my first ever tablet yesterday and was very eager to set it up...but after spending all day yesterday and today reading various tutorials, I am still at a complete loss as to how to set this up. I have installed the drivers. Apparently, though, I also need to edit a config file to get it to work - a file that I do not have. It's supposed to be either /etc/x11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xf86-conf. But I do not have this file...and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I'm getting frustrated now because I've never really had hardware issues with Linux before, but getting a tablet was a huge deal for me as a digital artist who feels like an amateur just because I could never afford one...and to have it sitting on my desk for two days unable to use it is very depressing.
I can't get tablet working under slack, the problem probably is just that no input device gets created. I compiled the driver myself (slack seems to come without wacom driver...).
Here are my settings:
xorg.conf:
Code:
Indeed, /dev/input/wacom does not exist. The control LED on the device is flashing and reacting to the pen.
I have recently purchased a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet and have got it working with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) by following this post: [URL].
I am now trying to trap the actual data coming from the bamboo as I write with the pen and found some threads suggesting that if I do an xxd one of /dev/ttyS[0-4] I should be able to see output. However when I do a "sudo xxd /dev/ttyS0" the xxd command finishes straight away.
If I run the command "xxd /dev/input/mouse1" I can the data coming from the mouse movement so I am expecting to be able to see the same sort of thing coming from the wacom bamboo pen. Both the bamboo and the mouse are USB connected.
Does anyone know if the stream of data coming form the wacom bamboo should go to /dev/ttyS[0-4] or should I be looking elsewhere?
I was messing with xorg.conf trying to get my wacom tablet to work. I restarted and it brings be everytime to a terminal. I can log in but that is about it. When I type startx it says xorg.conf is messed up bad. I already tried:
[Code]...
A few weeks ago, I was configuring my wacom tablet with the Wacom Control Panel by QB89Dragon, and suddenly xorg crashed. I remember specifically that I was modifying the pressure curve of the pen when it crashed. The screen went black, but the computer stayed on. Since then, every time I start up ubuntu normally, it would show the splash screen, but would then drop me to a black screen. But if I boot up under recovery mode, failsafeX, and generate a new x configuration, and restart X, it will work fine until I restart.
I've tried looking for an xorg.conf, but since I'm running 10.04, I guess it doesn't use an xorg.conf anymore. I tried uninstalling the program I used to configure it, but no go. I tried generating a new configuration with the tablet unplugged, with the tablet plugged in, even with a different tablet. And, since nothing is ever that simple when I do something wrong, nothing so far has worked.
When working in GIMP using a Wacom pen (which I do a lot), not all the lines I draw show up. Maybe every 1 in 5 lines, just don't show up, and it's like the brush outline freezes. This becomes pretty annoying when drawing, which is why I log in standard GNOME without effects when using GIMP.
There is a minor problem that I think may be related, and that is that sometimes when I open a windows in GIMP, such as the Save or Open dialog, I won't be able to click anything in it with my pen. I then need to click the canvas in the background, and after that everything works. It seems as though the brush is stuck on the canvas, which is similar to what happens when drawing. I've tried different compiz settings with vSync and others, but nothing that made this work. This also seems to only be a problem when using a Wacom pen, and not when using the mouse.
I recently purchased a Wacom Bamboo CTH-460 and have had endless frustration trying to get it to work.
I started by getting the latest stable source from the Linux Wacom project and trying to compile the drivers and kernel modules from source and installing them, though nothing ever seemed to work. If I do lsmod it shows that the wacom kernel module is loaded but when I do more /proc/bus/usb/devices I end up with this:
And no matter what I try it always says Driver=(none). So that means none of the /dev/input events are getting any data from the tablet, which means there's no way for it to do anything with X. So that is the step I am stuck at.
After some time I came to suspect that perhaps the CTH-460 is too new to be supported, and am now trying to compile drivers from the lastest development source realeased on 12-30-09. It said there was support for 5 new Bamboo tablets. However when I try to make the driver I run into this error:
I'm not sure if that is just an error in the make script or not, and if it is, why no one else has said anything about it.
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, do I even need a new kernel driver for my tablet model? Do I only need an Xorg driver? What modules and drivers need to be in place before I should at least get the tablet tied to an input event?
I've been struggling for 3 days getting my Wacom Ultrapad to work, but without any sucess. I've searched the web but I haven't found any relevant information regarding to Fedora 12. Only some similar problems with other distributions but unfortunately those didn't help. I've also searched the guides and forum posts on "The Linux Wacom Project" without any succes.
The standard hal and X server self config doesn't detect it. So I tried with creating a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Basically I took the self generated xorg.conf file and added the appropriate entries:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
[Code]....
I'm completely out of any more places to look for information regarding.
