Wacom Graphire 4 tablet with FC5

Lastomega · 04-05-2006, 02:52 PM

I cannot get my wacom tablet (graphire 4) to work properly. It will not recognize the pen when it is hovering, pressure, and the mouse. When the pen is pressed down, it will only be able to travel within the upper-right quarter of the screen.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have the same issue. Anyone know how to fix this? For me it's more like in mouse mode where I can lift and slide the pen to cover the whole screen.

Mode "Absolute" option is used for all Wacom Input Devices in Xorg.conf. It still doesn't help.

Thanks in advance,
Sarav

Hi,

It's working fine for me now. The problem was all the tutorials used /dev/input/event0 for the xorg.cong file and the wacom dev was in event5. I fixed this by using /dev/input/wacom and it works like a charm. I'm using FC5 though. Not sure if other distros create the /dev/input/wacom by default.

Btw the option I use for Absolute mode is:
Option "Mode" "Absolute"

Thanks,
Sarav
