Comment 39 for bug 1753525

on Jul 16 2020 I still have the same problem. The pad is perfectly recognized when using terminal commands but not detected in the device dialog under settings>devices>Wacom Tablet. When I hit Test your settings I can input but have to use high pressure. I did install the most recent drivers from source following this link https://linuxwacom.github.io/ , installing input wacom from source and building the Xdriver. Installing input wacom went without error messages and installing the Xdriver gave the message that the installed driver is already the newest one. When I try to use the tablet with Xournal it sometimes works and sometime doesn't rebooting usually fixes the "not working". "Not working" symptoms are: when drawing a line it gets interrupted, the pressure has to be extremely high, the cursor jumps around wildly, switching between eraser and pen is not controllable, the cursor can not be mapped to a specific monitor. I am on Ubuntu 18.04.3 The tablet is a Wacom Intuos BT S The output from xsetwacom --get "Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos BT S stylus" all is:
