Ubuntu 12.04 scroll-wheel support

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I have been searching the lists archive, and am still unclear whether or not this is a solved problem, please help: Mapping scrollwheel ("AbsWheelUp/AbsWheelDn") does not produce any effect.
I also seem to be unable to map keys 2 and 4 to anything whatsoever. Wacom tablet: Bamboo model MTE-450 using package "xserver-xorg-input-wacom" version 1:0.14.0-0ubuntu2
distribution: ubuntu 12.04 "precise" kernel: 3.2.0-24-generic-pae Is this problem solved in the latest version released of xserver-xorg-input-wacom? Or is this a unique issue?
Thanks, - emf

Or is this a unique issue? Hi Matt, The fix was committed to the xf86-input-wacom repository a couple of days ago. So you'll need to clone and compile it. Also you'll want to use RelWheelUp and RelWheelDn as your xsetwacom parameters.

Matt, let me know if you have issues getting the wheel mapping to work with AbsWheelUp and AbsWheelDown. Running e.g. `xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo pad" AbsWheelUp key a` works as expected for me when building from the repository. Button mapping is a different story -- the Bamboo and Graphire4 have buttons mapped to X11 buttons 8 and 9, which exceeds the size of the actions array we allocate. This does cause mapping issues, even with the latest code in the repository. Jason --- Day xee-nee-svsh duu-'ushtlh-ts'it; nuu-wee-ya' duu-xan' 'vm-nvshtlh-ts'it.

Can a puck also have a scroll wheel that is Abs or Rel? Other than going through the code or trying both in a xsetwacom command is there a way to know which is correct for a given scroll wheel?

However, this data is reported through ABS_THROTTLE (similar to an airbrush) instead of REL_WHEEL, ABS_WHEEL or ABS_WHEEL2. > Other than going through the code or trying both in a xsetwacom > command is there a way to know which is correct for a given scroll > wheel? > > Favux I don't believe so. You can make an educated guess though -- if it looks or feels like a mouse scroll wheel, it's (probably) relative. If it looks or feels like the Intuos4 touch ring, it's (probably) absolute.

Thanks Jason and Favux, I am trying to build and install the latest version to see whether this resolves the scroll-wheel bug, but I do have the question remaining, will building this way work with Ubuntu 12.04?
We do not have by default xorg-server package installed. Upon running the ./configure, I get the following error: We do have the packages:$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib ... ... checking for XORG... no
I am hesitant to go messing around with Xorg packages if I don't know what I'm doing here, will this work without breaking xorg under ubuntu 12.04? Thanks

Have you confirmed your pad's <device name> for use in the xsetwacom command with 'xinput list'? You just need to compile and install xserver-xorg-input-wacom to update the Wacom X driver. Two Ubuntu specific HOW TOs for compiling xf86-input-wacom are available at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 The second link has some stuff on BambooPT button mapping in "V. Tablet (Pad) buttons" that may help you with mapping your 2 and 4 buttons.
