Wacom ET-0405-A detects mousewheel backwards

[Jeff Bailey]

Hi! The mouse for the ET-0405-A wacom tablet has the mousewheel backwards.
Swapping the zaxis mouse buttons as "5 4" solves the problem, but it's a bit
annoying when testing live CDs.

This is not a new bug, and the work around it pretty easy. Happens on both
amd64 and i386.

I have no idea how to track down if this is a kernel driver or a xorg driver bug.

The relevant wacom packages have been recently updated in Dapper; can you test whether your problem is still present?

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

This problem is still present. I don't think it's related to the Wacom packages at all. I'm just using /dev/input/mice for my driver.

Here is the relevant section from my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Configured Mouse"
        Driver "mouse"
        Option "CorePointer"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4"
EndSection

Also, my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file doesn't contain the word "wacom" at all. It appears to just be the generic mouse:

(**) Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
(**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
(**) Configured Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4"
(**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 5 and 4
(**) Configured Mouse: Buttons: 9
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)

Jeff, Matthew, i suck at wacom stuff, can you two please coordinate and let me know what should be done here?

Thanks
Fabio

If it's just using /dev/input/mice, then the problem is either in the kernel or the hardware itself.

Yes, exactly right. This is not an X bug.

Tks,

Reassigning to linux-source-2.6.17, where wacom.ko belongs.

Just updated this machine from Dapper to Edgy, and this now works. Thanks! Marking Fixed Released.
