Linux Mint Forums

Hi, I just installed linux mint 14 x64 kde, and everything is working quite well, except from some problems with my wacom intous5 touch medium tablet. The tablet works, and the pressure sensitivity as well, however, the settings under the “pad buttons” tab doesn't at all match a intous5 tablet. I can't configure any express keys, since none are shown, and my tablet doesn't have a touch strip nor a wheel. Also, under the “general” tab, the tablet shows up as “unknown Waltop device 0x27”, even though the input devices shows that it's a wacom intous5, which I think is a bit odd. Does anybody here know how to fix this? And also, today's my first day using linux, so please take that into consideration when answering. Thanks in advance!

Hi bent95kr,

Welcome to Mint forums!


That sounds like a problem with the Wacom tablet KDE system tool. Looks like they started implementing libwacom support just a few days ago. Before they were using their own tablet database and that may be where the problem is. So you'd want to contact the developer: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/wa ... ent=114856

You can do it manually with xsetwacom commands.

Thanks! I'll contact the developers first thing tomorrow.

Okay, so I filed a bug-report about it, and the person answering me said that if you have an older release of the wacom tablet kcm, like the one that comes with mint 14 kde, you need to add your device to the database at /usr/share/kde4/apps/wacomtablet/data/wacom_devicelist

Add The following section:
[0027] model=PTH-650/K
layout=bl_4
name=Wacom Intuos5 touch M
padbuttons=9
wheel=no
touchring=yes
touchstripl=no
touchstripr=no

That worked perfectly for me.

Awesome.

Thanks for sharing the Intuos5 database entry.
