Cursor moving to top left on maverick 64bit alpha 3

[techno-mole]

Hello, me again.

I got bored so I decided to install Maverick (Yes I know it's and alpha) I installed the wizardpen driver from the ppa, even though there isn't a version of the driver for maverick.

The driver installed okay, but I have the old cursor moving to the top left of the screen every time, so I though't I'd post a bug report, to kind of get the ball rolling.

I've attached the xorg.log

My tablet is a trust tb-6300

Output from " lsusb " is - Bus 004 Device 002: ID 5543:0005 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Genius MousePen 8x6 Tablet

Cheers.

I have been messing around with various things, mainly trying to get the system to boot, this has now been solved by disabling the splash screen.
On my travels I have noticed that although I installed the driver using synaptic the 70-wizardpen.conf file isn't in the same place as it is in Lucid, this sounds odd, but in lucid the 70-wizardpen.conf file would be in usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but on maverick it is now in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d I have tried putting it in the usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d file but this didn't make any difference.
Not super helpful, more of an observation.

Cheers.

I thought I would try and build the driver from bzr, so I removed the version installed using synaptic and followed the steps on the wiki here ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

Everything built okay, I had no errors but I still have the cursor issue, even after following the extra steps detailing how to edit the 70-wizardpen.conf file the cursor will still go straight to the top left, I know the version in bzr and the version from the ppa are the same ? but I figured I'd try it anyway.

I've been messing around with things, but I haven't been able to improve on what I had already.

I decided to see what the differences were between lucid and maverick, so I installed the driver from the ppa in my wife's system, she runs mint 9 (which is basically lucid with tweaks) the driver installs and runs well ( I knew this already, having run mint 9 myself)

This is what I posted on the ubuntu forums.

First of this is the xorg.0.log from my wife's system.

Just noticed that this is for 64 bit - mine is 32 bit ..... but the same problem the pointer shoots up to the top left of the screen,
The buttons are working as the menu in the top left appears and disappears when pressing them - other than that it will not work as it should do.

The pen is being seen by system ...... but its not setting up the wizardpen driver.

Check how the device is being set up ( it seems to be finding it in Maverick )

[Olaf Piesche (opiesche)]

I've had problems using the wizardpen driver with Maverick until i found a warning about a mismatched ABI in xorg.0.log. So, I downloaded the 0.7.3 source and compiled it myself. Other than that, I'm using the default setup (with 70-wizardpen.conf in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d), and it works perfectly well, as it did in Lucid with the driver from doctormo's PPA.

I've attached the recompiled driver files here, built for amd64. If anyone would like to try, simply rename your old /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.* to turn them off and copy the ones in this tgz into the same directory.
Disclaimer: this has not been tested anywhere except on my machine. It's using doctormo's sources vanilla without any modifications.

[Olaf Piesche (opiesche)]

Some more info: If the driver can't be loaded, the evdev catchall specified in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf kicks in, and the tablet is run with the evdev driver. From there, I could move the pointer with the tablet, but no pressure was recognized, and after moving the cursor with the tablet, mouse clicks wouldn't be recognized anymore. The driver above can be loaded by Maverick's Xorg, so all is good now :)

Grep xorg.0.log for 'EE' (without the quotes) to see if you have the same problem. If you do, and you're running amd64, there's a good chance the drivers attached above will fix the issue until an official fix is released or the drivers in the PPA are updated.

[techno-mole (techno-mole)]

I have installed the rc of maverick and I hvae also tried the fix mentioned by Olaf Piesche but for me the problem is still the same, although this may be because I install the driver from the ppa using synaptic.

I am currently thinking about compiling from source, but I have tried the how to, but it didn't work, not sure that I'm using the right method ---> trying this ---> https://answers.launchpad.net/wizardpen/+faq/1021 but I get an error about man pages ? is there another place to get the source files from ? and I will see if it works when the driver is complied from scratch.

Cheers.

[GalanM (galan-c-m)]

I get the same problem. Maverick RC on a Dell D630. Using a Monoprice 5.5x4 tablet. Worked before upgrade. I've tried compiling from source (as described on the wiki), as well as the version offered by Olaf Piesche, with no luck.

[techno-mole (techno-mole)]

I'm wondering if there's anything else I can try ?

 So far I've tried installing from the dr mo ppa, downloading the source files and compiling myself, and I have also tried the suggestions posted by Olaf Piesche with no luck, I also downloaded the --- xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.0.tar.gz archive and tried compiling that myself, but again no luck.

At present I can either get the cursor moving to the top left, or nothing at all, unfortunately I don't know very much about this type of thing, so I don't really have a clue what I'm doing.

Cheers.

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

Information: It's unlikely the wizardpen driver will work for Maverick. There is NO support for wizardpen in Ubuntu and the lucid driver was a one off thanks to the work of one guy. If you have a wizardpen device and would like to keep using it, please stick to the LTS until we can get some REAL kernel level support for all wizardpen devices.

Right now this device set just doesn't have the attention to get it fixed for Maverick.

There is only one problem in Maverick Meerkat.
The XOrg server not apply scripts from /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/...
Scripts must be placed on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf

We must check, that module "wizardpen" is loaded by command
/var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "wizardpen"
If output is blanc, module was not loaded by Xorg

If you replaced script, output must look like this:
[ 15.079] (II) LoadModule: "wizardpen"
[ 15.116] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.so

[Daniel Andrade de Matos (daniel-dam-3d)]

It's works for me
I only created the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
And copy the file /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf
to the folder that was created, and after a reboot
the tablet start work.

thanks mmartin

I've gone back to using lucid for now, I have also added my tablet info to this page ---> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GraphicsTablet
I'm not sure I got it right though, but I suggest everyone who uses the wizardpen driver does.

[techno-mole (techno-mole)]

I can now confirm that after updating the driver to the latest one from the dr mo ppa my tablet is now working with pressure sensitivity and seems to be fully functional on maverick (I upgraded to try the newer driver out)

Many thanks to Dr Mo and Negora.

[techno-mole (techno-mole)]

Not that I have a clue about how this driver works, but I am interested in knowing what the difference between the new driver and the old driver was.
Was it just down to xorg being a later version and managing devices slightly differently ? or something like that ?

cheers.

(I can also confirm that I have done some more testing and my tablet is working as well as it did in lucid, which in my opinion is the best it's ever run since I got it)
