tablet does not work

[Tobias]

After updating to Ubuntu 7.10 - the Gutsy Gibbon my tablet stops working. I can activate the tablet again, if I switch the graphic card driver from "nvidia" to "nv". But I can't use the "nv" driver because I need 1920x1200 as screen resolution and that works only with "nvidia".

The tablet is an Lifetec 9310 (a rebranded Aiptec 6000) with a serial port. I'll add my xorg.conf, if someone needs more informations pleas ask.

Remove call to xf86IsCoreDevice.

Please try this patch, it removes the unnecessary call. I don't have a device, so I'm not sure if it works or helps at all.

Yes, I can confirm this patch makes the driver work again. However:

1. An additional patch is needed to actually make it return plausible pressure values (this has been broken for a while, but I never bothered to submit a patch).

2. Tablet support is broken in X server 1.4 (raw coordinates do not get translated into screen coordinates properly) with a fix promised for X server 1.4.1

3. As of last week, I have a Wacom Cintiq, so I have no further interest in the Hyperpen driver and will probably not be submitting any more bug reports.

Patch to make the hyperpen driver actually report sensible pressure values.

In talking with user further, it was an XGL problem. It's known that XGL does not support extended devices. I would close this bug as they uninstalled XGL (as it was unnecessary as an Nvidia user).

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Yes, please close this bug, I uninstalled XGL and it works now.

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Please post your xorg.conf. Are there any error messages? Is it the right Serrial Port.
