Bug Description
Binary package hint: wacom-tools
Hello,
This problem is identical to Creative2's report during the development of Hardy (http://
I did a fresh Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 install, up-to-date, on i386 system (2.6.24-
My Wacom Graphire 4 classic touchpad works well (pressure OK, stylus/eraser OK, touchpad scrollwheel OK) apart from the 2 buttons that are left and right of the scrollwheel.
In Gutsy (7.10/up-to-date), scroll wheel AND buttons worked fine (I had them re-assigned to browse fw/bw in Firefox), but after an internet upgrade to Hardy pressing either button forced X-server to crash. So, I did a fresh (cdrom-) install of Hardy. Pressing the buttons gives no apparent reaction, but remapping to anything makes the X-server to restart.
I run wacom-tools 1:0.7.9.8 from repositories. Installing 0.8.0 of wacom-tools (as suggested by http://
The problem can be reproduced on my system the following way:
#1: Test whether buttons are functional:
The command '>xidump pad' shows that button clicking IS noticed: xidump pad + buttonLeft --> "9-UP" and "9-DOWN", and +buttonRight --> "10-UP" and "10-DOWN". The scrollwheel is 4-UP and 5-UP for up and down, resp.
#2: Change button mapping is functional:
The command '>xsetwacom set pad Button1 "core key a" should remap Button1 to "a". This is confirmed by the command '>xsetwacom get pad Button1' which returns 'CORE KEY a'
#3: Press Button1 after change:
If the Button1 is pressed after the re-mapping, the X-server restarts (like CTRL+ALT+
I speculate the problem is in xsetwacom? Or, am I missing anything obvious here?
I have attached ~devices; ~dmesg; and /var/xorg.0.log as requested in the "DebuggingTouch
Thx,

I'm using an intuos 3 and I get exactly the same result, xrestart whenever a remapped expresskey is pressed on both a 32 bit and a 64 bit system.
Both computers are running Hardy.
At the linux wacom site there was a mention that this is caused by the specific combination of driver version and linux kernel version.
I built the wacom driver 0.8.0-3 from source which fixed this problem, but then I had no pressure sensitivity in wine so have gone back to the driver in the repository.
