OK, so screw wizardpen

Postby Vespasian » Wed May 12, 2010 6:03 am

Any ideas?
By default, My 2.5 installation detects and uses my Trust TB 6300 Tablet mouse buttons only. The attempt to install Wizardpen has yielded some interesting results, IE, my tablet is apparently a webcam :shock:

So, several attempts have yielded... absolutely nothing. I can't find anything within 2.5 to properly configure it (don't know exactly what I'm looking for) so, if I might let loose a short, desperate exclamation...... :D


HELP!!!!!

Thank you :D

Aye, those are the one's I've discovered so far... and it's still a webcam or just the mouse buttons. Blast! :D

Ok, this page here:
http://code.google.com/p/linuxgenius/
It says the latest most current driver is here:
https://launchpad.net/wizardpen
And guess what's listed?
Supported tablets: Acecad Flair II GT-504, DigiPro 5.5×4” Graphics Tablet, Digital Ink Pad (A4 format), G-pen, Genius Wizardpen, Genius Mousepen, Genius Easypen i405, Genius, iBall, Manhattan, Pentagram, QWare, Trust TB-3100, Trust TB-5300, Trust TB-6300, UC-LOGIC, iBall Tablet PF8060, AIPTEK HyperPen 10000 U, AIPTEK Slim Tablet U600 Premium II

Might want to take a look at the bugs and questions while you're on that page like
Lucid: wizardpen driver not loaded due to xorg module requirement mismatch?

Now before you go and panic saying there's no package there. Here is the guide from a link on that page I said you should look at:
How to set up a Trust graphics tablet on ubuntu karmic.
****** UPDATE 5th May - 2010 ******

As of 10.4 (lucid lynx) getting the trust tb-6300 (the tablet I use) to work is pretty easy, and as far as I know the other tablets listed in this post and the wiki should also work, with minimal tweaking.

<BREW>
Should add one more thing. While the guide looks great and very complete for the most part techno-mole doesn't give you a real clear command to add the wizardpen PPA so here's how it should have been given:
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen

techno-mole just says
So for lucid add this to your sources list - ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen I normally do this through synaptic, once added reload and look for the wizardpen entry, just type wizardpen into the quick search filed.

Still no luck... Following the instructions on the karmic link and it can neither find the folder at the end point, although I got a little further this time (thanks for that).

There' something I'm missing, but I can't see what it is, so sorry about the mass of terminal below and maybe someone can point my mistake out :D
