bought a beautiful graphics tablet from Wacom Bamboo series here is that it applies to the Intrepid is a sudden negative result: the only aspect of the tablet seems to work is that the pointer. Here the usual accessory for PCs running on Windows and on Linux and Mac OS puts up a fuss. But there is no solution to everything.

The tablet has the following characteristics:

• a stylus with a pen (tip), rubber (rear) and two buttons;

• a widescreen pad with 4 buttons (<, >, FN1, FN2);

• a pen holder.

WARNING: The tutorial is designed for Wacom Bamboo MTE-450 on Ubuntu 8.10, other versions may require alternative configurations!

We loved the open terminal and install two packages:

sudo apt-get install wacom-tools xserver-xorg-input-wacom

CAUTION: Always make a backup copy of important files that change!

Now change the "xorg.conf" ( in / etc/X11 / ) by adding the following lines to the end of the file (you need to open it with administrator privileges " sudo nautilus" or " sudo gedit / etc/X11/xorg.conf): Section

"InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "USB" "on"


EndSection Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/ dev / input / wacom"
Option "Type" "pad"
Option "USB" "on" EndSection

Then look in the file section Section "ServerLayout" and add :

InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "pad" should

look like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0
"Default Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" " CoreKeyboard "
InputDevice" stylus "" SendCoreEvents "
InputDevice" eraser "" SendCoreEvents "
InputDevice" pad "EndSection

Hopefully you find my here as a comparison.

Save, and then log out (if Favorite Ctrl + Alt + Backspace ) and riloggatevi.

Type in terminal:
xidump stylus -> move the stylus on the tablet, the numbers should be modified ( press Ctrl + C to exit ).

xidump eraser -> move the stylus upside down (rubber) on the tablet, the numbers should be modified ( press Ctrl + C to exit ).

xidump pad -> press the buttons on the pad and turn the wheel with your fingers, the numbers should be modified ( press Ctrl + C to exit ).

Each time you will get something like this:

If the tablet reacts to the three commands, it is set up and ready to operate. At this point you only need to associate the correct action buttons by comanto xsetwacom .

To define the button bindings syntax is this:

xsetwacom September [dev] [in] [out]

• [dev] is between a stylus (pen ) eraser (rubber) or pad (hand).

• [in] is the action of [sc]: for example, "button1" is the 1st button while "AbsWUp" represents the motion time wheel.

• [out] the key or button that will be used when we use the data [in]: for example, "core key ctrl x" simulates the command "Ctrl + x".

Note: this address provides all the parameters that can be used.

We create an empty file in which we can insert the following lines:

xsetwacom September pad button2 "core key NumpadPlus # FN1
xsetwacom September pad button4" core key NumpadMinus # FN2
xsetwacom September pad button1 "core key ctrl NumpadMinus # <>
xsetwacom September pad AbsWUp" 4 " # RotellaSu
xsetwacom September pad AbsWDn "5" # RotellaGiu

We save the home formats. "Sh" Right click on the file select "Permissions" and check the box "Allow executing file as program ".

go to "System -> Preferences -> Sessions" and then "add" Mome
: Wacom
Command:

At this point the pad and ready to operate.
