I had this problem as well. It seems to be fixed on Kubuntu 12.04, but
11.10 definitely had it until the end. I am also running another flavor
of linux on another box (Mint 12 KDE) which still has the bug, though.
Here is an easy work around for you guys, if you haven't found one
already.
Kubuntu 11.10 Wacom stylus point click (or Button 1) error: When I
first came across the error, I looked EVERYWHERE on the net for a fix,
and I never found one pertaining to the specific problem between Kubuntu
(or KDE) and the Wacom Tablet. I did however come across a fix using
xsetwacom.
1.) Open up your terminal
2.) Type: xsetwacom list
If you aren't getting any output to your terminal regarding xsetwacom, your
latest Wacom driver is not properly installed.
This is what mine looks like when I type "xsetwacom list" via terminal:
Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus id: 8 type: STYLUS
Wacom Intuos4 6x9 eraser id: 10 type: ERASER
Wacom Intuos4 6x9 cursor id: 11 type: CURSOR
Wacom Intuos4 6x9 pad id: 12 type: PAD
3.) Copy the Make/Model/Device(stylus) output to your clipboard. So, I'd
copy "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus" if I were to do it. Now that we have
that bit of information, let's move on to step
4.) type in console: xsetwacom set "Your Output of Make and Model Goes
Here" Button 1
So, if I were to be using this syntax, I would type: xsetwacom set "Wacom
Intuos4 6x9 stylus" Button 1
Make sure that there are quotes surrounding "Wacom ---- to ------ stylus"
And there you have it, your stylus is now able to click.
(NOTE: This setting is only set locally, therefore when you restart, log
in, hotplug, open wacom settings via system settings, or restart x your
stylus' point and click will no longer work. For this, you'll have to
have the command executed when you log in-- I'll give you more details
at the end of this post.)
You can pretty much configure your entire graphic tablet using
xsetwacom, everything but the LEDS. However, there is a tutorial
somewhere out there on how to get the LEDS working. I personally use
xsetwacom to configure my tablet, cutting out the kde-tablet-config due
to it's lack of configuration options.
Links for further reading on xsetwacom:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index_old.php/howto/xsetwacom
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Main_Page
Those sites are currently down today (09 May, 2012), sorry :( Please
refer to your xsetwacom manual (man xsetwacom via terminal) and your
help file (xsetwacom help via terminal).
Execute xsetwacom on startup:
Create a text file named tablet.sh and place it in /home/uname/.kde/Autostart/
and this is what your file should contain. Make sure the file is executable by
right click -> properties -> permissions tab -> "Is executable" check box:
#!/bin/bash
#point and click fix
xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos4 6x9 stylus" Button 1
I hope this helps guys, thanks :)
