Wacom Mouse Scroll Wheel is Upside-Down

Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom

I have a USB Wacom tablet attached to my desktop computer, which has a three-button mouse. I use no other mouse.

After upgrading from Dapper to Edgy, the mouse wheel has been inverted, so that pushing the wheel up scrolls down, and vice versa. My hardware hasn't changed, and everything works as expected in WinXP.

I've tried messing around with my xorg.conf, and I didn't find a straightforward fix. xmodmap -e "pointer = ..." didn't help initially, but eventually I found a workaround. The thing is that xmodmap only affects "the core pointer", and my Wacom mouse wasn't "the core pointer", but "Configured Mouse" was instead.

$ xsetpointer -l
"eraser" [XExtensionDevice]
"cursor" [XExtensionDevice]
"stylus" [XExtensionDevice]
"Configured Mouse" [XPointer]
"Generic Keyboard" [XKeyboard]

"stylus" and "cursor" are the two ends of the Wacom stylus, and "cursor" is the mouse. Thus, I can swap the scroll wheel buttons (4 and 5) on my Wacom mouse as follows (note that 4 and 5 are in reverse order):
$ xsetpointer "cursor"
$ xsetpointer -l
"eraser" [XExtensionDevice]
"cursor" [XPointer]
"stylus" [XExtensionDevice]
"Configured Mouse" [XExtensionDevice]
"Generic Keyboard" [XKeyboard]
$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4"

This works, but the workaround merely fixes the symptoms, not the root cause. Hence, I'm filing this bug, but I'm not sure if this is a wacom-tools bug, an Xorg (xserver-xorg-input-wacom) bug, or a kernel (wacom-kernel-source) bug. Any hints on how to dig a little deeper? Before applying my workaround, xev was reporting that pushing the mouse-wheel up (which should generate button 4) was generating button 5, but again, I don't know if this fingers the root cause.

This has been reported at ubuntuforums.org a number of times:

This post sounds similar (Wacom mouse wheel is inverted), but is about a year old, so may not be relevant:

When you convert the device to a pointer, it also becomes sensitive to acceleration, etc. This means that the 'absolute' part of the tablet becomes distorted and working at the edge of the tablet is even more difficult...

I, too, can confirm the symptoms. However, the workaround suggested by the original poster does not appear to work here. "WCursor" was already the core pointer, but xmodmap still won't remap the cursor properly. I have not been able to find out why yet.

The original comment above should read '"stylus" and "eraser" are the two ends of the Wacom stylus'.

I think the middle and right buttons on the stylus may also be incorrectly reversed? Or maybe I am dreaming?

YES !!!

I found a fix (well a work-around). Install wacom-tools, then run the following:

user@host$ xsetwacom get cursor RelWDn
5
user@host$ xsetwacom get cursor RelWUp
4

Here is the the real problem, change them with the following two commands:

user@host$ xsetwacom set cursor RelWUp "5"
user@host$ xsetwacom set cursor RelWDn "4"

Hope this helps, the best solution would be if Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4" could just work, but that is not the case. I shall try to see if the driver accepts these "RelWUp/RelWDn" in the xorg.conf file and report back with results.

Dread Knight (dread.knight) wrote :

Ok guys, I've emailed Ping the details. The fact is that the wacom-tools version in Gutsy is not the latest one.

Also, my wacom mouse side buttons don't work as expected (button 4 and 5 i think). Not to talk about the tablet's express keys...

Anyway, "re-inverting" the scroll button won't be any good, since some people prefer it inverted (even i managed to get used to it this way).
We need a GUI to configure the tablet similar to the one the wacom drivers add in windows in control panel.
I'm not a coder but i will start a project soon in order to create such a configuration GUI for GNOME (using GTK, of course) ~ but I need to replace by broken hdd first...

Well, you could get and compile the new driver from here
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/
and do as Ping said. Somebody could also request to introduce the new driver
version in gutsy's new repository, or perhaps more likely as things more
around... in hardy's repository.

I've just bought a laptop on which I installed Gutsy (on my desktop PC, it had been upgraded from Feisty <- Edgy <- Dapper). Strangely enough, the scrollwheel of the tablet mouse works as expected, although I'm not sure the tablet is set up correctly: it is set up in xorg.conf but I have not set the options in programs such as Gimp, etc.
Might it be possible that th wheel problem comes from another setting rather than a bug in the driver ?

Hardy beta comes with (at the moment) 0.7.9.8. I just installed it today and the mouse wheel on my Graphire 4 is scrolling properly - down is down, and up is up. It was inverted when I had Gusty. Can anyone else confirm that it is fixed with their model?

Yup! Scrolling works correctly now on my Intuos 3 in Hardy. :)
