Fujitsu T4310: screen rotation doesn't rotate wacom pen/mouse axes

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Binary package hint: wacom-tools

After rotating the screen with the "rotate" button, the axes of wacom pen and the mouse are not swapped.
If you move the pen/mouse horizontal , it goes vertical.

There's work in progress in the following GIT repository: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/log/?h=randr-rotate-wacom-tablet

I tested it here and it doesn't work correctly at the moment. But I couldn't find the time to contact the maintainer.

[Perkins (lperkins)]

As a temporary workaround, on my Toshiba tablet I use the following script to control screen and pen rotation. You may have to adjust the device names to match your hardware.

#! /bin/bash

if [ -f /tmp/rotated ]; then
        xrandr -o normal
        xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer" Rotate none
        xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer eraser" Rotate none
        rm -f /tmp/rotated && exit 0
else
        xrandr -o left
        xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer" Rotate CCW
        xsetwacom set "Wacom Serial Tablet PC Pen Tablet/Digitizer eraser" Rotate CCW
        echo 1 > /tmp/rotated && exit 0
fi

confirming on lucid
Fujitsu siemens T4210

On karmic worked without problems.

On lucid stylus/eraser don't rotate with screen.

as workaround:

$ ls /usr/local/bin/wacom*
/usr/local/bin/wacom-ccw.sh /usr/local/bin/wacom-cw.sh /usr/local/bin/wacom-half.sh /usr/local/bin/wacom-none.sh

$ cat /usr/local/bin/wacom*
#!/bin/bash
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate ccw
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate ccw

#!/bin/bash
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate cw
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate cw

#!/bin/bash
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate half
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate half

#!/bin/bash
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet" Rotate none
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate none

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Thank you for reporting this issue with wacom-tools, we are migrating it to the new xf86-input-wacom package which has replaced it in the development version of Ubuntu.

This would be a good point for you to re-test this issue against the new package to see if is still occurring. If not, you can mark it as Fix Released in Launchpad. If it is still an issue in the current development release and you're the original reporter, please reply and attach a fresh Xorg.0.log.

Hi H.-Dirk,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 516827

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 516827 in your report if you think it may be related):

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

Problem seems to be solved in lucid.

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

Lucid: For the synaptics the problem still exist. For the pen it is solved.
