[Bug 763965] [NEW] wacom graphire 3, cursor moves randomly

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I found some bugs in Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2. They are about my wacom
graphire 3 tablet, my webcam (integrated) and not being able to wake up
the netbook after "lock screen" (shortcut CTRL+ALT+L).

My netbook is the new MSI wind U270. This one:
http://www.laptopshop.nl/product/127746/msi-wind-12-u270-004nl.html

By default, my wacom graphire 3 tablet works nicely. However, I always swap button 2 and 3 around, I have been following these instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom
This is the code that I have now (this works in 10.10, and the instructions on that site for 10.04 works in 10.04)Also, I commented out the "Option "Button2" code" to make my tablet work again without changing buttons. The 3 option lines I commented out are the only ones I added.

[code]
Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "Wacom class"
# WALTOP needs a patched kernel driver, that isn't in mainline lk yet,
# so for now just let it fall through and be picked up by evdev instead.
# MatchProduct "Wacom|WALTOP|WACOM"
 MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM|Hanwang"
 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Option "Button2" "3"
# Option "Button3" "2"
# Option "KeepShape" "on"
 Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "Wacom serial class"
 MatchProduct "Serial Wacom Tablet"
 Driver "wacom"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Wacom serial class identifiers"
        MatchProduct "WACf|FUJ02e5|FUJ02e7"
        Driver "wacom"
EndSection

# N-Trig Duosense Electromagnetic Digitizer
Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "Wacom N-Trig class"
 MatchProduct "HID 1b96:0001|N-Trig Pen"
 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 Driver "wacom"
 Option "Button2" "3"
EndSection
[/code]

What happens if I uncomment them is that the cursor instantly gets stuck at the right side of the screen. No matter where on the tablet I put my pen. Sometimes it pulls away from the side and my tablet behaves half tablet, half mouse.
Half mouse: the cursor's position and movement/speed is not related to the position and movement/speed of the pen on the tablet.
Half tablet: lifting the pen and placing it elsewhere makes the cursor look for a new random position on the screen.
