Today I connected my wife’s Wacom Bamboo Fun CTH-461 to my desktop with Fedora 15 on the 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64 kernel. It worked like a charm – just plug&play – that’s because I already got installed X drivers for the Wacom:
|
1 |
[docent@docent-desktop ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i wacom xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.11.1-3.fc15.x86_64 |
If You have issues with Wacom under Fedora 15 – just try to install above drivers and reboot X.
But I really hate this multi – touch when I’d like to draw something with the pen, so I wanted to turn it off. Also I wanted the pen to work only on the first monitor – not on the both (I use dual monitors with extended desktops). We can set all those things with xwacomset command. First We have to know our Wacom devices:
|
1 |
[docent@docent-desktop ~]$ xsetwacom list dev Wacom Bamboo Craft Finger touch id: 11 type: TOUCH Wacom Bamboo Craft Finger pad id: 12 type: PAD Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus id: 13 type: STYLUS Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen eraser id: 14 type: ERASER |
Now when We have those devices’ names We can turn off the multi touch:
|
1 |
[docent@docent-desktop ~]$ xsetwacom set 'Wacom Bamboo Craft Finger touch' touch off |
When done with multi touch We can set the working space of our tablet to the first display unit. Firsly we have to know current mapping settings:
|
1 |
[docent@docent-desktop ~]$ xsetwacom get "Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus" Area 0 0 14720 9200 |
Now If You want to map the pen to the left monitor, just double the third number:
|
1 |
xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Craft Pen stylus" Area "0 0 29440 9200" |
Now I had all done and were ready to go with my work :)
