Bug 320559 – x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom-0.10.4: X-Server doesn't seem to recognize an wacom intous 4 correctly anymore

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arne 2010-05-19 13:57:39 UTC]

The cursor can be moved by stylus or eraser correctly until I touch the tablet with it to click. After this the cursor doesn't move anymore until I take the stylus out of the operating distance of my tablet once. Right and middle mouse click also does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The tablet first worked fine with x11-drivers/linuxwacom-0.8.4_p1, but I unintended updated to xorg-server-1.7.6 so I installed xf86-input-wacom.
Downgrading to xorg-server-1.6.5-r1 and linuxwacom also didn't helped.

One more thing is missing: output of hal-device for the touchpad.

Well, line 'input.x11_driver = 'evdev'' says that it's not
wacom driver is used, so this bug seems INVALID.

Check the order of parsing of fdi files.

[Comment 9 Arne 2010-05-22 14:36:01 UTC]

Thank you for that hint.
I found the problem in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi file, which I copied from the minimal instalation disc. In that file evdev and/or mouse is loaded for all kind of tabletts.

[Comment 10 Ondrej Filip 2010-09-12 19:48:07 UTC]

I had the same issue, but my hal fdi file has same number and I just commented out x11_driver line. System chose wacom and it worked. My tablet is Genius F610 if anyone bumps in this issue.

[Comment 11 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2010-09-22 07:01:19 UTC]

Can anyone reproduce the issue with newer versions of the driver?

Thanks
