Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I am using a tablet pc with a serial wacom tablet (Sharp TN10W - intel i810 graphics) and a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04. In normal landscape orientation, everything is fine. However, when I rotate to portrait mode (via xrandr -o right, with corresponding xsetwacom rotation), I cannot draw smooth lines with my wacom stylus. The lines appear choppy, although when the screen is redrawn (rotated back or minimized/maximized), the lines appear normally. I attempted to record a screencast of this behaviour, but lines did not appear choppy on the screencast. I see this behaviour with xournal, cellwriter, and gournal. Everything used to work normally in Gutsy, so I believe the problem is related to Xorg 7.3. Some discussion on the Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4717873) reveals that other people experience the same problems, although with relatively few tablet users it is difficult to determine whether the problem is ubiquitous. The only errors that I can see in Xorg.0.log are the following lines, appearing immediately after rotating the screen to portrait orientation: xf86WcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 0 v=0 l=9 xf86WcmSerialValidate: bad magic at 3 v=a0 l=9 If I reported this problem under the wrong package, please let me know. Thank you. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy][regression] Extended input devices (wacom) function poorly in portrait mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
