Bug ID: 407712
Summary: Offset increases at edge of drawing area.
Product: wacomtablet
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jazzv...@gmail.com
Reporter: patrickrif...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
(I am posting this bug report under advisement from Jason Gerecke on
linuxwacom-discuss).
A friend of mine has recently switched to Arch Linux (with KDE Plasma as his
desktop) and is using a Cintiq 13HD for drawing with Krita. He has found that
after calibrating his tablet, the offset between the cursor and the stylus
increases the further away from the center of the drawing area he moves the
stylus (at it's worst on the very edge).
He currently runs a dual monitor setup on his Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti, however he
has also tried recalibrating his Cintiq without the second display connected.
Without the second display connected, the offset is worse (he performs his
calibrations through the Wacom Tablet KCM in Plasma Settings). This issue
persists both inside and outside of Krita (other drawing programs, empty
desktop etc).
After discussion with Jason Gerecke on linuxwacom-discuss, Jason has advised
that the error is not in the xf86-input-wacom driver but in the wacomtablet KCM
module. He has written a preliminary patch (which I will post here once I have
obtained his permission) which does appear to partially correct the issue from
our testing. The patch changes the calculation of the tablet area to take into
account the tablet sensor sizes being slightly larger than the Cintiq display
itself.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure a Cintiq 13HD or equivalent tablet display to the below settings
using the wacom KCM module.
2. Run Krita, GIMP or a program that recognises stylus input.
3. Draw from the center outward, taking note of the increased offset as the
stylus approaches the edge.
OBSERVED RESULT
The offset between the cursor and the stylus position increases the further
away from the center of the drawing area you become.
EXPECTED RESULT
The offset would remain consistent regardless of the stylus location in the
drawing area.
