Great work so far. The GUI is a great development for wacom users. But
for me the configuration won't be used by the system. I'm running
Ubuntu 6.06. It seems the .xinitrc isn't executed at startup. Altering
the expresskeys settings works fine though.
Hope you can handle this at time.

Hi,
I've been working on a wacom control panel similar to wacomcpl but with
the added ability to configure expresskeys (http://web.comhem.se/~u46139352/wacom/index.html
). It's mainly to help at my work as we have many Intuos 3
tablets which users want to use the 'pad' on and they are mostly
artists who are not going to understand keycodes and how to alter the
config file for expreskeys by hand. It's also designed to be
simplified for the artists so it does a few things like combine
senstivity controls for the stylus and the eraser into one.
It's downloadable from http://alavaliant.googlepages.com/wacom-config.py
if you want to take a look. I've only tested it with Debian (Unstable)
and Ubuntu (
5.10 and 6.06) but I think it should work on any Linux system with
python 2.4+ and pygtk 2.6+? (may be 2.8).
It's a self contained python script so all you need to do is download,
set executable and then run it. (Just make sure how you download it
doesn't mangle the formatting as python doesn't like that)
It interacts with the wacom drivers in rather crude ways ('xsetwacom
list dev' must have 'stylus' on it's list, 'xidump -l -v stylus' must
give output so it can get the tablet area), beyond that it stores
tablet settings in ~/.xinitrc and ~/.expresskeys/expresskeys.conf as
per normal so it should on paper be able to use wacomcpl settings and
manual expresskeys setups. (I'd say backup your files first though if
you have any setting files you've spend months making just to be safe.)
It's mostly complete at this time, the only big issue I'm still working
on trying to find a solution for is that on systems that don't execute
xinitrc on login none of the tablet settings will get set on login (and
express keys won't be started.) (I'm guessing .login might be a
choice for those systems but I'm not sure of a good way to test if
.xinitrc is used on login easily.)
Also I'm unsure about settings for the 'cursor' as I don't have a wacom
mouse. Do any of the speed and sensitivity controls do anything for
it? xsetwacom lets me alter their settings for 'cursor' but I'm not
sure if that actually do anything... (So I've got them as options for
cursor in wacom-config but I'm not sure if it makes sense having them
there.)
Anyway try it out and let me know what you think and if it
works/doesn't work. I'm not really a programmer (yet?) and this is the
first largest thing I've written to date by quite a bit but so far it
seems to be working ok.
