Hi Phil,
The support for this tablet is already in the program here. You'll need to do a little more specific troubleshooting.
-Does the tablet work when you first plug it in?
-What version of what OS are you running?
-Does the program detect the tablet, then fail to configure it?
-Are any error messages generated when the program is run by the command 'python /usr/share/wacom-utility/wacom_utility.py'

I tried configuring the pad buttons with xsetwacom once some time ago and failed.

My tablet works fine and both in the previous version of this program and the new one I was able to successfully configure pressure sensitivity but in none of them I was able to configure the express keys. When I choose to configure the Pad it says "no preview is avaible for this model" and there is no options to be configured.

Thanks for letting me know this issue. I know what the problem is, and I need to create a new buttonmap for this device. I can get to it in the next day or so.
If you are aware of how to use the xsetwacom command, I would be very grateful if you could tell me what button number each of your express-keys map to. E.g. 'top-left = Button1', 'top-right = Button2', etc.

Okay I'm not very good at explaining this things with words so I drew it, here is the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/2-nB2LED2aiaBPB8VhCQIu3WZjjz3LYFkvQip_BtP_A?feat=directlink

Though I couldn't find the strips, I tried the commands StripLUp and StripLDn how it's written in the instructions on linux wacom site (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/xsetwacom)and it didn't work, I probably did something wrong, though I don't really know what, whenever I tried to use "get" to see what was assigned to StripLUp or any other Strip command, it would always return "0" even after I tried to set a new value to it.

Hope this helps.

Ok now I can see the buttons on the pad configuration but nothing I type on keystroke or any special keys I choose actually stick, I can only change between mouse functions except for double kick which never sticks too. Also whenever I disable a button I can't activate it again, not even with mouse funcitons. In fact even when I leave the mouse function on any button and try pressing it, it doesn't work, though when I configure them with xsetwacom command they work fine. I don't know it this is because I had previously set values to the buttons before, when I was trying to figure out the button numbers or if this is due to a wrong installation of the wacomlinux driver. Also I can't configure the touch strips with neither the app nor xsetwacom.

On another note, even though my output for xsetwacom list is:
Wacom Cintiq 21UX eraser ERASER
Wacom Cintiq 21UX cursor CURSOR
Wacom Cintiq 21UX pad PAD
Wacom Cintiq 21UX STYLUS
whenever I try to configure the pad using any variation of writing (PAD pad or Pad) I always receive:

Cannot find device 'pad'.

then I tried xsetwacom -v list and received:
... Display is '(null)'.
... 'list' requested.
... Found device 'Virtual core XTEST pointer' (4).
... Found device 'Virtual core XTEST keyboard' (5).
... Found device 'Power Button' (6).

... Found device 'USB Optical Mouse' (12).
... Found device 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' (13).
... Found device 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' (14).

then I tried configuring the pad using xsetwacom set 10 button1.... and it was when it finally worked and I could discover the button layout, though I coudn't configure the touch strips. So anyway, I don't know what's wrong in all this, can it be my wacomlinux driver which isn't installed correctly? By the way, I'm using Linux Mint 9 Isadora.
Thanks for all your attention and support!

Can you send me a few examples of commands that manage to set expresskey buttons with xsetwacom?

I am able to set the keys on my intuos 3 both with the program and with xsetwacom itself. However xsetwacom seems unable to 'get' the settings back, so the program can read what they are currently set to.

To get the current commands that are being mapped, you will find the file .wacom_utility in your home directory (it's a hidden file), and it contains the list of commands passed on startup to reconfigure the tablet that you can try and see if they match what you are getting to work in the command-line with xsetwacom.

Let me know what you find out!

ok the program is working fine! I used to write
xsetwacom set 10 Button1 "core key ctrl"
for example to set button1, but reading the lines on .wacom-utility I realized my previous attempts never worked because I never added ' on the name of the device like
xsetwacom set Wacom Cintiq 21UX pad ...
instead of
xsetwacom set 'Wacom Cintiq 21UX pad' ...

Anyway something I didn't notice yesterday but tested out today is that whatever change I do with the program works, but it will not show me, like I just set button1 to ctrl and it's still showing "left click" on the menu but when I open mypaint and test it out it works as a ctrl button and not a left click

Though the touch strips are still not working, neither through xsetwacom or this program, whatever value I set them to is ignored and whenerver I try to use them the cursor jumps to the top left corner of the screen

The bug where it still shows the default mouse button mapping is due to a bug in the underlying xsetwacom command that was introduced when they moved to the xf86-input-wacom package from wacom-tools in ubuntu 10.04.

I'm currently chasing down the people responsible so that it works - you can follow the progress here, and when it is updated, this will be fully working.

Hi, nice job!

I have a tablet graphic "Medion MD 41217 USB", but for the lsusb command shown "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 08ca:0010 Aiptek International, Inc. Tablet". When I connect the tablet work, but their performance is very bad. However when I start "Control Panel Wacom" shown "graphics tablet not detected".

Any idea the problem?

This app is called 'wacom control panel'. Wacom doesn't make your tablet so it can't be configured here I'm afraid. Look into the device support on linux, if it can be configured by the xsetwacom command then it's not too hard to set expresskeys or pressure curves from the commandline.

Hi,

This isn't a complaint about the application, I just want to share my experience about using the wacom-utility with Linux Mint 8.

Config :
- LinuxMint 8 (Helena)
- Wacom bamboo fun

Just a quick warning for Limux mint users crazy enough (like me) to try the package for ubuntu 8.10 - the application will install like a charm but when executed will generated a xorg.conf file, that will cause after boot an error message from the Xserver complaining about the syntax.

I learned it the hard way that Linux Mint 8 is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 9.10 -

It seems that deleting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf will fix the boot error.

Now my question is : there's a wacom-utility for ubuntu 8.10 and earlier - and a wacom-utility for ubuntu 10.04 ... any suggestion for the 9.10 ?!

Thanks for your answers

Hi,

Ubuntu 8.10 is for ubuntu - and possibly other linux distros keeping in par with ubuntu and xserver development from October 2008. I cannot remove it from this site due to a bug in gtk-apps.org.

The current PPA version will work on any distro that uses HAL to configure wacom tablets, so for ubuntu 9.04 onwards.

I hope that helps clear things up.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Good news, actually I did more tests later yesterday - but this time using 2 Live CD (safer!) and an usb key containing the latest .deb provided

* Live CD1 With Linux Mint 8 (Helena) the control panel appears but the only line on the left is option (even the orange donate button isn't there)

* Live CD2 With Linux Mint 9 (Isadora) the control panel shows a lot more - I can see the Wacom Pad, Wacom stylus, Wacom eraser and options -- perfect!
