Waltop graphics tablet buttons not working

[ronnieb]

I have an Aiptek Hyperpen Mini, which is a rebranded Waltop pen. It uses the driver from the xserver-xorg-input-wacom package. Mostly works out of the box, but the two buttons on the side of the stylus reports the same button number. So I cant use them as seperate buttons.

According to the blue square on the bottom of this page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/l ... let_Set_Up, this was a kernel bug in 2.6.35 and 2.6.36. It was fixed in 2.6.37.

I'm using Mint 12, which uses kernel 3? Any tips on how to fix this?

This is a bummer. It should work for the 3.0 kernel AFAIK. Have you verified it is on the Wacom X driver in your Xorg.0.log or something?

What is the output of the following command in a terminal?

Thanks for reply. Problably a bummer yes. I still feel like a newbie, even though I've been using linux on and of for at least 5 years...

Alright your model is:

Code: Select all

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 172f:0037 Waltop International Corp

Vendor ID = 172f = Waltop Product ID = 0037

The kernel is exporting the "device name" as:

Code: Select all

        WALTOP             Tablet

which is deformed, it should be:

Code: Select all

Waltop Tablet

There may also be trailing whitespaces from the look of things. Also it should identify itself a little more uniquely say with Hyperpen or Hperpen Mini.

The Xorg.0.log shows what appears to be a good match by your custom wacom.conf and the Wacom X driver accepting the tablet without a problem. You get the spurious eraser and pad because the driver is using the Graphire logic to set up your stylus.

Looking at Nick's compatibility table: http://digimend.git.sourceforge.net/git ... TY;hb=v0.4 I don't see your model/Product ID. I assume that is the problem. A corrected HID descriptor for your model hasn't been added to the kernel. I checked a 3.2 kernel I have lying around and I don't see it in that either. Not in the hid-ids.h file in /drivers/hid or in hid-waltop.c/drivers/hid.

So what you would need to do is submit the usbhid-dump and any other diagnostics Nick asks for. How to do that is described on his DIGImend site: http://digimend.sourceforge.net/#proj-kernel-patches The contact link is at the bottom of the page. You could check how well it is being handled generically by removing the custom wacom.conf. Does it match to the evdev driver and work including pressure? Stylus buttons? Although I assume it didn't work out of the box and that's why you added the wacom.conf in the first place.

[ronnieb]

Actually, it did mostly work when I first plugged it in. Stylus pressure worked perfectly as far as I can tell. I can draw with different pressure in gimp. But, the two buttons on the side of the stylus always reported the the same button number. I made my custom wacom.conf later, desperately trying to fix the buttons issue.

Code: Select all

~$ xsetwacom --get "         WALTOP             Tablet     stylus" Button 2
3
~ $ xsetwacom --get "         WALTOP             Tablet     stylus" Button 3
3

Anyways thanks, I'll have a look at Nicks page and send the usbhid-dump to him.
