Known problems
There are some problems, that I haven't been able to solve:
* Hotplugging - The driver doesn't support hotplugging - but this howto includes a partial workaround
* HOTSPOTS - The driver doesn't support the HOTSPOTS of the tablet! - I'm working on a solution to this one!
Setting up your tablet
General information
This guide has been tested extensively with Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu!
This guide is based on the newest development release: *ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
For an *ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)-version, see TabletSetupWizardpenBreezy
For an *ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)-version, see TabletSetupWizardpenDapper
For an *ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)-version, see TabletSetupWizardpenEdgy
This guide is only for USB tablets! - Any additional information to support serial-tablets would be greatly appreaciated.
Installing needed packages
Open a terminal
Install some needed packages - Run this command:
sudo apt-get install xutils libx11-dev libxext-dev x-dev build-essential xautomation xinput
Downloading and installing the driver
Download the wizardpen driver, and extract it! - Run these commands:
wget http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhorak28/wizardpen-driver-0.5.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf wizardpen-driver-0.5.0.tar.gz
cd wizardpen-driver-0.5.0
Fixing the issues with compilation of the driver in edgy
In edgy, there seems to be an issue with the compilation of the driver.
To fix this, I've compiled the driver on dapper, and uploaded it to my site.
To install "my" driver, run these commands:
wget http://www.dallerweb.dk/dl.php?file=wizardpen_drv.so -O wizardpen_drv.so
sudo cp wizardpen_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
If you have problems downloading this driver, please email me: danielklejnstrup@gmail.com
If you want to use a browser for the download, please use this URL:
http://www.dallerweb.dk/dl.php?file=wizardpen_drv.so
Setting up udev (If the tablet is USB)
Connect your tablet, if it is not connected yet.
Find out what the device is called: (product) - Run this command:
cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
The output will look something like this: (depending on your system)
Tablet WP8060U UHCI Host Controller UHCI Host Controller UHCI Host Controller EHCI Host Controller
Note the product of the tablet (obviously Tablet WP8060U in my case!)
Now, add a udev rule: (Note that the SYSFS{product} is tablet-specific! - See output from above command!)
Run these commands:
sudo bash
echo 'BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{product}=="Tablet WP8060U", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="tablet-event", MODE="0666"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/010_local.rules
exit
Restart udev - Run this command:
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
Check that the syslink has been created - Run this command:
ls -la /dev/tablet-event
If it outputs a line, it means that it succeeded!
Calibration
Note: In the subsection, you'll find output from calibrate! If you tablet is listed there, you can just use that output instead!
- If you tablet isn't listed, I would love to recieve an email with the output, and the model of your tablet! (See email at the end of the page!)
If you want to calibrate yourself, just proceed.
Enter the "calibrate"-directory - Run this command:
cd calibrate
Build the calibration tool - Run this command:
make
Calibrate in order to find the edges of your tablet/digitizer - Run this command:
sudo ./wizardpen-calibrate /dev/tablet-event
Save the output from wizardpen-calibrate (the last 8 lines!) - You need it later in this howto!
Calibration output (If calibrate for some reason doesn't work!)
Skip this section if calibrate worked for you!
Tablet W5540U (UC-Logic):
Driver "wizardpen" Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event" Option "TopX" "2199" Option "TopY" "3598" Option "BottomX" "30325" Option "BottomY" "29278" Option "MaxX" "30325" Option "MaxY" "29278"
Tablet W8060U (UC-Logic):
Driver "wizardpen" Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event" Option "TopX" "826" Option "TopY" "2626" Option "BottomX" "32747" Option "BottomY" "32762" Option "MaxX" "32747" Option "MaxY" "32762"
Tablet PF1209 (UC-LOGIC)
Driver "wizardpen" Option "Device" "/dev/tablet-event" Option "TopX" "0" Option "TopY" "1553" Option "BottomX" "32541" Option "BottomY" "32762" Option "MaxX" "32541" Option "MaxY" "32762"
Setting up X
Now we are ready to edit the xorg.conf file!
Take a backup - Run this command:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Edit the file - Run this command:
sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Press "I" - So that "-- INSERT --" appears!
Insert the following section into xorg.conf: (just place it below your generic mouse!)
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "WizardPen Tablet" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" (the output from calibrate) EndSection
Add the following line in the "ServerLayout" section:
InputDevice "WizardPen Tablet" "AlwaysCore"
Save the file, and exit the editor! (Press "ESC" and write ":wq" and press "Enter")
Making X start without a tablet connected
Now, the driver should NOT be initialized, if the tablet is NOT found!
The wizardpen-driver does not support hotplugging, so we should run a script on startup, to define whether or not the tablet is present.
Open /etc/rc.local - Run this command:
sudo vi /etc/rc.local
Press "I" - So that "-- INSERT --" appears!
...and insert some code: (insert it JUST above "exit 0")
XORG_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg.conf if [ -e /dev/tablet-event ]; then sed -ie 's/^\(\s*\)\#\(\s*InputDevice\s\s*\"WizardPen\ Tablet\"\s\s*\"AlwaysCore\"\)\s*$/\1\2/' "$XORG_CONF" echo "Udev created /dev/tablet-event, which means that the tablet is present! - Tablet-driver enabled" else sed -ie 's/\(^\s*InputDevice\s\s*\"WizardPen\ Tablet\"\s\s*\"AlwaysCore\"\)\s*$/\#&/' "$XORG_CONF" echo "Udev did NOT create /dev/tablet-event, which means that the tablet is NOT present! - Tablet-driver disabled" fi
...so that the file looks something like this: (in case you haven't added anything else to the file!)
#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. XORG_CONF=/etc/X11/xorg.conf if [ -e /dev/tablet-event ]; then sed -ie 's/^\(\s*\)\#\(\s*InputDevice\s\s*\"WizardPen\ Tablet\"\s\s*\"AlwaysCore\"\)\s*$/\1\2/' "$XORG_CONF" echo "Udev created /dev/tablet-event, which means that the tablet is present! - Tablet-driver enabled" else sed -ie 's/\(^\s*InputDevice\s\s*\"WizardPen\ Tablet\"\s\s*\"AlwaysCore\"\)\s*$/\#&/' "$XORG_CONF" echo "Udev did NOT create /dev/tablet-event, which means that the tablet is NOT present! - Tablet-driver disabled" fi exit 0
Save the file, and exit the editor! (Press "ESC" and write ":wq" and press "Enter")
Now you can test udev's ability to detect the tablet - Run this command:
sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start
The output will tell you if it is present or not! - And it should match reality! (try to disconnect it, and try again! - connect, and then again! - etc...)
You should now be able to restart X and have the tablet working as a mouse.
I'm still working on a way to support hotplugging, but the above code-example will make X start without a present tablet.
Fix the X-freeze problem
This is not possible, if you are running edgy, and not able to compile the driver correctly!
This is a workaround to avoid an X-freeze if you unplug your tablet while X is running.
Open the file wizardpen.c, go to line 632, and remove these 4 lines:
if ((local) && (local->fd)) xf86CloseSerial(local->fd); if (local) xf86DeleteInput(local, 0);
These 4 lines deactivate the driver after an unplug, which is a good thing in itself. The sad thing is that xorg doesn't understand such a deactivation.
After removing the lines, you should compile the driver again - Run this command:
xmkmf && make
Copy the newly-compiled driver to the driver directory - Run this command:
sudo cp wizardpen_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
Configuring the buttons on the pen
I'm working on a wizard for this task!
In the meantime, look into the package "xinput" which is installed first in this guide.
Here is a list of numbers with their corresponding function:
Number | Function |
0 | No action (only movement) |
1 | Left button click |
2 | Middle Button click |
3 | Right Button click |
4 | Scroll up (one click equals one step of scroll wheel in my logitech mouse) |
5 | Scroll down |
Configuring the tablet HOTSPOTS
I'm working on a daemon for this task!
It's working almost well so far, just need a little tweaking, and making it start automatically.
The biggest problem is to execute the commands as child-processes (so that a failure doesn't cause the daemon to die!)
Troubleshooting - See this if you have any problems
I have followed the guide without getting errors, but it still doesn't work!
On edgy you will get no errors if you compile the driver yourself.
But for some reason, the compilation is flawed! (because of the new GCC version)
You can see these errors by running this command:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "wizardpen"
See this for a fix: (or the troubleshooting below...)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen#head-2b7a38de2ee5f77258591f0f1e7984a761bed268
The command cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "wizardpen" outputs errors
The output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "wizardpen" may reveal several errors, some of them are:
Module present, but with compilation-errors: (please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen#head-2b7a38de2ee5f77258591f0f1e7984a761bed268)

The Xserver is not starting after playing with the xorg.conf file
Wow - That's bad! - First of all, check that you set everything right!
Well, I suggest that you drop me an email, telling me what went wrong!
And then just restore the backup we created - run this command:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Everything seems to work, except pressure sensitivity
All the tablets mentioned in "known tablets" has pressure sensitivity support in Linux!
Please make sure that your favourite application supports pressure sensitivity.
Application | Support for pressure sensitivity | Guide |
Krita | Full support since 1.6 | Non yet |
Inkscape | Full support | TabletSetupInkscape |
Gimp | Full support | UbuntuHelp:TabletSetupGIMP |
Please tell me about other applications!
I have problems not solved by the above troubleshooting
