After dist-upgrade to 13.04 Intuos3 can not drag/paint any more under KDE

[Alexia Death]

After dist-upgrade to 13.04 Intuos3 can not drag/paint any more.

Button down is immediately followed by button release, so I CAN click, but painting is limited to single tab of paint at a time in gimp and does not work at all in Krita. I can not even to move windows around...

xinput shows that the pressure axis values are correct, but button up event is not - it comes right after button press, not when I lift the pen.

Booting an older kernel did not fix this.

You don't seem to have xdiagnose installed, so install it and run 'apport-collect 1174043' again. Are you using KDE?

[Alexia Death (alexiade)]

Will do apport again in a moment. Yes, I use KDE, I have gnome installed tho, if you want me to test something.

This bug does not manifest under unity, but does under KDE.

[Alexia Death (alexiade)]

Ive figgured out what's wrong with the tablet configuration:
xinput list-props before, with the bug:
        Wacom button action 0 (288): 1572865, 524289
        Wacom button action 1 (289): 1572866
        Wacom button action 2 (290): 1572867
        Wacom button action 3 (291): 1572872
        Wacom button action 4 (292): 1572873
        Device Product ID (261): 1386, 177
        Wacom Debug Levels (293): 0, 0

This looks a bit supcious to me... So i did:
xinput set-prop "Wacom Intuos3 6x8 stylus" "Wacom button action 0" 1572865

Resulting in:
        Wacom button action 0 (288): 1572865
        Wacom button action 1 (289): 1572866
        Wacom button action 2 (290): 1572867
        Wacom button action 3 (291): 1572872
        Wacom button action 4 (292): 1572873
        Device Product ID (261): 1386, 177
        Wacom Debug Levels (293): 0, 0

And now I can drag just fine... Untill I touch anything in the KDE tablet configuration utility - then the situation above is restored and no more drag for me....

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252925 <- this KDE bug suggests that this behavior is more of a driver bug than KDe configuration utility bug.

[Alexia Death (alexiade)]

As to why it appeated after dist-upgrade, the kcm configuration utility wasnt installed by default before AFAIK. I have actually tested it when it was quite new, ran into the same bug and uninstalled...

[Alexander Maret-Huskinson (maret)]

Could you please test the latest development version (1.99.9) of kde-config-tablet from https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/base/wacomtablet

You can get packages from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~maret/+archive/wacom-unstable

Be aware that you should either restart kded after installing the package or just log out of KDE and back in again.

Please note that you should remove this PPA after installing the package as it is a PPA for development packages only. Otherwise you will continue to get updates of unstable versions. You will be able to get the final, stable release from https://launchpad.net/~maret/+archive/wacom once we release 2.0 in about a week or so.

[Alexia Death (alexiade)]

The 2.0 package + driver from PPA fixed it for me. No trickery needed for drawing after reboot.
