cth-470 and Red Hat 6

Hi,
 
Just wondering if anyone has got the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH-470) working under Red Hat Enterprise 6 (RHEL6) (or CentOS 6) - and if so, what procedure was followed?
 
I've been trying for several weeks to get it working. One key problem that I'm hitting is that in the input-wacom driver source (I'm using 0.12.1), there are three separate source directories, one each for kernels 2.6.30, 2.6.36 and 2.6.38. The problem is that RHEL6 uses 2.6.32 only (Red Hat apparently merge in changes from later kernels and increment their own sub-modification number) and because of this, the input-wacom build picks up the 2.6.30 version of the driver source. But the CTH-470 device (device id 0xDE) is only defined in the 2.6.38 source.
 
This issue affects any distro which is based on Red Hat Enterprise (including CentOS and Scientific Linux) - but not Fedora Core, as this isn't limited to the single kernel version. 
 
Is there any chance that support for this device could be included in the 2.6.30 source? (I'd be happy to have a go at porting it across myself, if  there's no obvious gotcha which would mean that it would be doomed to failure from the start. I realise that it wouldn't be trivial, as there seem to be large-scale changes between the 2.6.30 and 2.6.38 drivers.) 
 
By the way - another interesting issue with RHEL6 and derivatives is that virtually all the documentation says that xorg > 1.7 uses udev for hot-plug devices - but this isn't the case in RHEL6: at least up to the latest supported version of xorg (1.10.4) it still uses hal. (It's easy to prove: reboot into runlevel 3, kill the hal service ("service haldaemon stop") and then start X: result - no mouse or keyboard.)
 
Also by the way - someone's probably wondering why I don't just ditch the Red Hat kernel and instead use the latest 2.6 kernel built from source. Yes, I'd love to - but unfortunately it isn't an option, as our linux workstations run software which relies on the Red Hat kernel being present.
 
Regards,
Peter

Yeah, it would be nice if we document the gestures in "man wacom".  Up
till now, the reason it wasn't documented is because we didn't want to
commit to anything in this area.  Its stabilizing enough that maybe we
can add it now.

Scroll gesture issues

Hi all,

I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch Special Edition CTH-661SE-NL and first I 
want to thank the developers, because prior kernel 3.1 multitouch was barely 
usable and in git's X11 driver after 0.12.0 release improved alot the gesture 
support.

But still I got a problem with the scroll gesture as it seems to work in 
reverse. For example if on the wacom I scroll down it scrolls up on the 
application and when I scroll up on the wacom the result is that it scrolls 
down.

Before submiting a bug report I want to know if this is the intended behaviour 
or if it's a particular bug that affects my hardwarre.

Also I get some trouble getting the right button press gesture to work, 
sometimes it works by accident I guess, or that I just don't know how to do it 
right.

I'm using Debian sid with a Kernel 3.2.0, X.Org server 1.11.3.901 and xf86-
input-wacom git revision a94a6fb.

Best regards,

Josep

(EE) PreInit returned 8 for "Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger" on Lenovo x220 tablet

Hi developers,

I'm on Debian stable with 2.6.39 kernel and xserver-xorg-input-wacom 
0.10.10.
The problem is that finger touch doesn't work.

xinput --list output is

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  
pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen stylus                   id=11    [slave  
pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen eraser                   id=10    [slave  
pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                  id=13    [slave  
pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint                       id=14    [slave  
pointer  (2)]

so I guessed it's because there has to be another "touch" device, I 
googled that it has to be present.
Xorg log shows:

pit <at> x220t:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "E6 Finger"
[  3611.890] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger

[  3611.891] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger 
(/dev/input/mouse1)

what can be the cause, should I try to update to the latest wacom driver?
can it be a conflict with synaptics touchpad (I also googled something 
similar).

Thanks in advance,
Alexander Petukhov

Bamboo Wireless Support

Hi all,

If you have one of the newer Bamboo tablets and also have the optional
wireless module then I have some good news for you.  I have an initial
driver to add wireless support.

I'm looking for people with the optional wireless module to help test
with the various versions of the 3rd gen Bamboo tablet and different
USB hubs.  You need to be comfortable with git and building linux
kernels since I currently only have it as a branch off input-wacom.

Basic directions to get the new driver and test it:

git clone git://github.com/cbagwell/input-wacom.git -b wireless_draft
cd input-wacom
./autogen.sh
cd 2.6.38
sudo rmmod wacom
sudo insmod ./wacom.ko

I hope to add rfkill support next so that the receiver plays nice in
airplane mode.  After that, I'll see if there are other options the
Windows driver has that seem useful under Linux as well (it has a
power savings setting that looks interesting).

calibrating a Cintiq in a dual monitor setup?

Hi,

I know how to calibrate a Cintiq in Linux when it's the only monitor
attached to the computer.   However what if there is a second monitor
attached as well (twinview using 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' to
map to the Cintiq) the values needed for calibration are quite
different.

For example with the Cintiq I was testing with;

0, 0, 86680, 54180
is the default tablet area

0, 0, 86680, 62180
seems to be the right values for just having Cintiq connected.

However if I have a second monitor attached on the left and map the
tablet to the right monitor only using Coordinate Transformation
Matrix values I have to use
808, 365, 87419, 54407
(worked out very slowly by hand by changing values bit by bit by hand)
is what is needed to make the calibration line up.       I'm sure
there is a way to calculate these values directly but so far how to do
it is escaping me.   Has anybody out there worked out the sums
required?

Thanks

Any way to get raw events from touchscreen?

I want to write a program that can take input from a Wacom touchscreen
and recognize different events and gestures. At the moment the
touchscreen driver automatically detects certain gestures (like zoom
and scroll), but they aren't the ones I need.

Ideally what I want is an interface where I can query all of the
points where the fingers touch the screen. For example, if I have
three fingers touching the screen, it returns a list of three
coordinate pairs, etc. up to whatever extent the hardware supports.
(Fujitsu advertised my computer as having five-finger touch).

My touchscreen is listed as "Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch". I'm running
Ubuntu 11.10.

Are there any libraries that would let me do this?

Bamboo Connect (Pen, CTL-470), not working with Slackware 13.37

Hello everyone.

I'm using Slackware 13.37 with Kernel 3.1.6, which the module for Wacom 
(CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=m) is installed, but when I plug it, it does 
not appear as a input device (even after the modprobe wacom).

Here's the system log:

The command xsetwacom --list devices don't return anything.

Any info you guys may need, just ask.

Thanks a lot for your time and have a happy new year.

Simple tablets

Fedora 16 and Ubuntu Oneiric no longer support the WizardPen driver so
these tablets are on the evdev driver.  The Aiptek driver is still
available though.  The problem we are running into is that pressure
doesn't seem to work on the evdev driver.

1) How do we enable pressure for "simple" tablets on the evdev driver?

They have either 512 or 1024 pressure levels.  The WizardPen driver
supported linear pressure for them.  From remarks Peter has made I
gather the simple tablets are suppose to be on the evdev (2.6) driver
for current releases.  While the evdev manual tells us how to supply X
and Y coordinates, which some of the tablets need, it is silent on the
Z-axis.  In other words are there Z axis coordinate options we should
be using and what are they?

The old 70-wizardpen.conf was of the general form:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "WizardPen class"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "wizardpen"
EndSection
The MatchVendor match doesn't always work for the tablets and for
those a MatchProduct keyword match is needed.

We've been trying a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-wizardpen-on-evdev.conf snippet:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "WizardPen-on-evdev class"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "TopZ" "10"
    Option "BottomZ" "1023"
EndSection
Without success except for 1 user who seemed to be reporting success.
So I don't know if it a model specific or a general problem.

2) Does the evdev driver support a tablet mouse in addition to the
stylus for these "simple" tablets?

The WizardPen driver never supported the tablet mouse some of these
tablets have.  In fact it made the stylus non-functional so a snippet
was needed to block the mouse from the driver:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "WizardPen ignore mouse dev class"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
    Option "Ignore" "yes"
EndSection
As an aside to Peter:  the original version of this snippet was the
origin of the famous Driver "" alternate to Option "Ignore".

Thinking the evdev driver might support the mouse we've tried:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "WizardPen-on-evdev mouse class"
    MatchIsTablet "on"
    MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection
But we see "could not open the device /dev/input/mouse1 invalid
ioctl".  Making me wonder if the problem is due to the kernel driver
for these tablets?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
