I thought about using the stylus, pressing button2 on it, wait 400ms and then start to scratch over the tablet while the button is still pressed. This should emit scrollevents - I think the windows driver has this feature as well.

First I really want scroll events (mouse z-axis) and no key presses of up/ down or pageUp/ pageDown. And second even the keys doesn't work. - If I try your first command everything is fine and I'm able to scroll in one direction. But when activating the 2nd command they seem to blanket (is this the correct english word?) each other and there are very quick scroll up once, scroll down, scroll up again - and this very fast (flickering)... when inspecting the pad with "xidump pad" the touchpad on the pad gives values for "rotation" - depending on the place where I hit the small touchpad a value between 01 (top) -> clockwise -> 71 (top again) > To assign the other buttons on the pas, say left up button to ctrl + > shfit, use: > > xsetwacom set pad button1 "core key ctrl shift" Is it possible to set, say button 1 of the pad, to modetoggle? - this does not seem to work: xsetwacom set pad button1 modetoggle and when hitting button1 nothing happens... :( cu /Steffen -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | "The best way to predict X * NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | the future is to invent it." / \ * NO MSWord docs in e-mail| -- Alan Kay ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
