Hi.
I'm a bit sad that my Wacom tablet (CTH-670) is so poorly supported in
gnome. The Wacom control panel does not recognize the stylus ("No stylus
found", even when holding it on top of the tablet), two out of four express
keys are incorrectly mapped as each other in the GUI and one is not even
detected there.
I can get everything working using xsetwacom in the terminal though. Is
there any way I can improve this? I looked at /usr/share/libwacom but there
are many things that I don't understand:
For instance, where do the hexadecimal codes for the styli come from? How
do I get one for my stylus? Are they arbitrary and I can't choose whatever
integer or do they need to match a code coming from the hardware? How would
I retrieve that code for my stylus?
Unlike some other .tablet files, bamboo-16fg-m-pt.tablet (the one for
CTH-670) does not have a Styli property. May this be the cause the stylus
is not recognized in gnome wacom settings?
Also the express keys: what is the relation between the button letters used
in the `.tablet` files (A, B, C, etc.) and the numeric button numbers used
in xsetwacom?
I have noticed that in the case of my tablet buttons don't use sequential
codes:
(extract from my set-up-wacom.sh script)
# pad buttons from top to bottom, with the hardware button number they emit
PAD_1=1
PAD_2=9
PAD_3=8
PAD_4=3
Regards.
