I've been asked to post a bug (feature request?) here (https://askubuntu.com/questions/980892/xsetwacom-wont-find-wacom-tablet-under-17-10-but-did-with-17-04-multiple-cur) on the following grounds:
The UI offered in Wayland for controlling a graphics tablet (such as my Wacom Bamboo Touch on a Thinkpad T450s under Ubuntu 17.10) is nowhere near a replacement for xsetwacom's functionality:
This tablet has both touch and a stylus. Wayland seems to know that.
(1) a UI is never a replacement for a CLI. I have scripts which controlled the tablet under X11, e.g. to turn touch on and off. Now I cannot use Wayland because even if the UI was fixed, my scripts won't work.
(2) Wayland UI does not offer option to turn touch off
(3) Wayland UI does not offer option to rotate the pad
(4) Mapping the tablet (touch) to a single monitor does not work
(5) Mapping the tablet (touch) to absolute coordinates does not work (it is still relative)
