Bug Description

Binary package hint: xinput

My tablet used to have the following properties, but they have gone missing during Lucid's development cycle.

property Evdev Axis Inversion doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property Evdev Axis Calibration doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property Evdev Axes Swap doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format

bdmurray@artemis:~$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom ISDv4 E3 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom ISDv4 E3 eraser id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Wacom ISDv4 E3 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]

Both devices 10 and 12 seem to be missing some properties.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for including the attached files. Could you also include your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after reproducing the issue?

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` too.

Here's my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file as requested. Perhaps it should be added to a xinput package hook.

Marking this as invalid as discussed in IRC, the evdev properties from before aren't exposed because the wacom driver is now used instead of evdev that was being while there was no xf86-input-wacom driver. The evdev properties are still there if evdev was used instead of wacom.
