Same issue here (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, X.Org X Server 1.19.3) Quick and dirty remedy: =======================
Download this package: xserver-xorg-input-aiptek_1.4.1-2build1_amd64.deb In packag control file, changed the following line (by ar/tar/... tools): Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), xorg-input-abi-24, xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.18.99.901) to Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), xorg-input-abi-24, xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 (>= 2:1.19.3) then install the modified local package: sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-aiptek_1.4.1-2build1_amd64.deb $ apt list --installed | grep aiptek WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. xserver-xorg-input-aiptek/now 1:1.4.1-2build1 amd64 [installed,local] $ sudo modprobe aiptek $ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Dell Dell Wired Multimedia Keyboard id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SIGMACHIP Usb Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Aiptek id=11 [slave pointer (2)] . . $ grep aiptek /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 35.656] (II) LoadModule: "aiptek" [ 35.657] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/aiptek_drv.so [ 35.664] (II) Module aiptek: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 35.664] (II) Using input driver 'aiptek' for 'Aiptek' [ 35.680] (II) Able to open aiptek device Add proper 50-aiptek.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d Tested in myPaint and Gimp, my G-pen 560 tablet works well. (Unfortunately in Unity there is no tablet pointer visible outside the drawing window on the screen, but I believe that is a Unity issue. In Gnome3 tablet operation is correct.) I hope It helps others too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529105 Title: Not able to install xserver-xorg-input-aiptek package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-aiptek/+bug/1529105/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
