I've made some partial progress on this bug. A couple things: 1) In Lucid Lynx, I can let the tablet stylus hover over the screen, click the button on the side of the stylus, and get the context menu that I'd get from a right-click of a mouse. This functionality is either missing or hidden in later versions of Ubuntu.
2) The pressure threshold for registering a click from the stylus is larger in later versions of Ubuntu than it is in Lucid Lynx. As a result, it *appears* that a "right click" from the stylus doesn't work. In reality, if I press the button on the side of the stylus and then push the tip of the stylus hard against the screen, I can manage to eke out a right-click menu. I can get saner behavior -- but *not* the same behavior as in Lucid Lynx -- by using xsetwacom to reduce the pressure threshold to, say, 7, which is the default pressure threshold in Lucid Lynx. I still have to actually contact the screen with my stylus to get a right-click event, which makes it easier to accidentally click on a nearby item in the right-click menu. This is not as good as the behavior in Lucid Lynx. As of yet, I still can't get the stylus to behave in Natty Narwhal as it does in Lucid Lynx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789045 Title: Button on X41 tablet stylus does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
