Bug#520104: xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Wacom stylus only works very briefly in relative mode, works correctly in absolute mode.
ow...@bugs.debian.org (Debian Bug Tracking System) writes: I'm tentatively closing this bug report now, in several parts because: - I cannot reproduce it. - I've seen no further information presented that would enable upstream to try to reproduce it. - We now have xorg 1.6 in unstable, which changes everything and should hopefully fix many of the input gremlins that have hounded us for a while, or is at least likely to mutate them from what you've seen previously in ways we'll need to know about. Indeed, I was holding off acting on this after it became apparent that upstream consider xorg 1.5 to be problematic, and 1.6 was landing soon. (...and because of a work deadline. :) If you really can still reproduce this with the packages currently in Sid, then please do give us a full report on your hardware and configuration on the upstream list, so it can be investigated further. Thank you, I will. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#520104: xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Wacom stylus only works very briefly in relative mode, works correctly in absolute mode.
Hi, Unfortunately, I can't confirm this at all, my experience is quite the opposite. I've had my stylus configured with the pen in absolute mode and the eraser in relative mode since the very first package, and can confirm this still works for me in 0.8.1.6. Probably the best thing to do is give a full description of your setup (tablet type, config option etc.) to the folks on the linuxwacom-discuss list. Someone who has the same device as you can help confirm or deny this better than I'd be able to. I see no record of people reporting this problem previously though ...

We have tested setting relative mode in the xorg.conf file, which showed the problem, as well as absolute mode there and setting it relative using xsetwacom. In the later case it failed after being set relative, and was functional in absolute mode. Setting to relative a second time had no effect: it continued to ignore the stylus. I don't entirely know what to do to diagnose this better, so hope you can provide some guidance to what might help resolve the issue?
