Wheel axis with Wacom Art-pen and input widgets
Last modified: 2010-05-10 16:05:05 UTC
The Wacom driver maps rotation on Art-pen to wheel input axis. This renders input widgets that uses this axis for input -- tabbed windows, scrolling, spin buttons etc -- unusable. This blocks the usability of Art-pen with applications like Gimp and Inkscape.
I'm getting button 4 and 5 events from the driver so I'm starting suspect that it's a problem with the driver. xidump -u raw artpen ----- 16.05792117: Motion: x=+34351 y=+33120 p= 814 tx= -9 ty= -26 w= +673 16.06594896: Motion: x=+34375 y=+33186 p= 814 tx= -12 ty= -28 w= +664 16.06596017: Button: 4 DOWN 16.06596518: Button: 4 UP 16.07392406: Motion: x=+34392 y=+33227 p= 802 tx= -11 ty= -28 w= +664 16.08191895: Motion: x=+34391 y=+33244 p= 802 tx= -11 ty= -28 w= +664 16.11004210: Motion: x=+34350 y=+33234 p= 728 tx= -12 ty= -27 w= +664 16.11812615: Motion: x=+34309 y=+33216 p= 728 tx= -12 ty= -27 w= +672 16.11814713: Button: 5 DOWN 16.11815000: Button: 5 UP 16.12603402: Motion: x=+34241 y=+33190 p= 726 tx= -7 ty= -28 w= +672 ------
