<H2><A NAME="ss6.1">6.1 Having 2 mouses on the same system</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Have you ever dreamed of having 2 mouses on your system ? If the answer
|
|
is yes, do the following.
|
|
<P>Edit the file <B>/etc/XF86Config</B>
|
|
<P>The modules section should look like this
|
|
<P><B>Section "Module"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Load "xf86Wacom.so"</B>
|
|
<P><B>EndSection</B>
|
|
<P>Then check the XInput section :
|
|
<P><B>Section "XInput"</B>
|
|
<P><B>SubSection "Mouse"</B>
|
|
<P><B>DeviceName "WacomTablet"</B> --> or whatever you like
|
|
<P><B>Protocol "IMPS/2"</B> --> I didn't manage to have imwheel recognize the wheel,
|
|
but if you do, drop me an email
|
|
<P><B>Port "/dev/input/mouse0"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Buttons 5</B>
|
|
<P><B>ZAxisMapping 4 5</B>
|
|
<P><B>AlwaysCore</B> --> means that the Wacom mouse is always considered as the
|
|
core pointer, ie if you move your normal mouse or the Wacom mouse (or stylus),
|
|
it'll be just the same.
|
|
<P><B>EndSubSection</B>
|
|
<P><B>EndSection</B>
|
|
<P>And there you are, the Wacom mouse (or stylus) is now considered as a second
|
|
mouse, but your normal one still works.
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss6.2">6.2 Now on to the real stuff</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Back to the XInput section, after the parameters for the mouse, here is
|
|
the real Wacom stuff :
|
|
<P><B>SubSection "WacomStylus"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Port "/dev/input/event0"</B> --> the USB event device
|
|
<P><B>DeviceName "WacomStylus"</B> --> or whatever you want to call it
|
|
<P><B>Mode Absolute</B> --> ie the tablet surface is equivalent to the screen
|
|
surface
|
|
<P><B>#Suppress 6</B>
|
|
<P><B>DebugLevel 10</B> --> once everything works, set it to 0
|
|
<P><B>#TiltMode</B>
|
|
<P><B>#HistorySize 200</B>
|
|
<P><B>#AlwaysCore</B>
|
|
<P><B>#KeepShape</B>
|
|
<P><B>#TopX 20412</B> --> the 4 lines are used to fine-tune the coordinate
|
|
to fit with the screen
|
|
<P><B>#TopY 14730</B>
|
|
<P><B>#BottomX 0</B>
|
|
<P><B>#BottomY 0</B>
|
|
<P><B>EndSubSection</B>
|
|
<P><B>SubSection "WacomEraser"</B>
|
|
<P><B>DeviceName "/dev/input/event0"</B>
|
|
<P><B>DeviceName "WacomEraser"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Mode Absolute</B>
|
|
<P><B>EndSubSection</B>
|
|
<P><B>SubSection "WacomCursor"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Port "/dev/input/event0"</B>
|
|
<P><B>DeviceName "GraphireMouse"</B>
|
|
<P><B>Mode Absolute</B>
|
|
<P><B>EndSubSection</B>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss6.3">6.3 The new module</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The xf86Wacom.so is not specifically written for the USB tablets, and it's
|
|
even not working correctly with these tablets. A new driver has been written
|
|
by Matsumura Namihiko <po-jp@geocities.co.jp> has written one named xf86WacomUSB
|
|
(available as source code at the same location than this Mini-HOWTO). However,
|
|
to be able to compile it, you'll need the kernel source code and the source
|
|
tree for XFree86 (I compiled it with success against XFree86 3.3.5, but it
|
|
should compile with 3.3.6).
|
|
<P>This driver doesn't handle all the possibilities of the tablet, and crashes
|
|
if you pass it the <B>AlwaysCore</B> parameter.
|
|
<P>To correct this, I'll keep in touch with Frederic Lepied for a modification
|
|
of the original module to have it handle all of the possibilities of the tablet.
|
|
<P><B>**NEWS** At Frederic Lepied's site, you'll find a link to a new USB driver
|
|
that works perfectly well, but exclusively with the possibility to have your
|
|
tablet working as a mouse : ie either you use your tablet in The Gimp to draw,
|
|
or you use it as an XFree mouse, but not both together. I'll investigate further,
|
|
and update this document accordingly.</B>
