X60 Tablet pen buttons does not work...

[fahim]

Hi,
I am searching now since 2 days to find a way to get my pen buttons working. The pen and everything else works great, just the pen buttongs (right click and eraser) does not work?!

I am Using Ubuntu 7.10 with GNOME.

Would be great if someone has a solution for this problem.

I use a X60T as well, running Gentoo-Linux.

from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "cursor"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
        Option          "Type"          "cursor
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "stylus"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
        Option          "Type"          "stylus"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
       Option          "Mode"  "absolute"
        Option          "Button2" "2"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Driver          "wacom"
        Identifier      "eraser"
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/ttyS0"
        Option          "Type"          "eraser"
        Option          "ForceDevice"   "ISDV4"         # Tablet PC ONLY
        Option          "Button3" "3"
EndSection

With this configuration Button3 (middle mouse button) is mapped to the second pen-button and Button2 (right mouse Button) is mapped to the eraser-button.
You might wanna flip those, i only use it that way for a special purpose of mine.

Thank you very much but this option does not work too... I am really wondering about that because it seems that other X60t user does not have this problem.
I even tried to find out the keycode with xdev. But if I press the button on the pen, no action will be recognized?!
