[Bug 581663] [NEW] Wacom stylus buttons no longer emit double click events in Xorg

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This issue has already been reported for Jaunty in bug #112310, but as
requested I'm submitting a new bug report for Lucid.

According to the documentation from the Linux Wacom Project, you should
be able to set a Wacom stylus button to double click using either a
command like:

    xsetwacom set "Wacom Graphire2 4x5" button3 "dblclick 1"

or by adding a line to the appropriate section of xorg.conf (or in
Lucid: /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf):

    Option "Button3" "dblclick 1"

The latter method stopped working in Ubuntu 7.04, and the former method
stopped working in Ubuntu 9.04. Both methods still do not work in 10.04.
The first method will not produce any errors, but seems to have no
effect when using a "dblclick" setting. The second method will produce a
warning in the Xorg log and also has no effect for "dblclick" settings:

    (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
    (**) Wacom Graphire2 4x5 cursor: always reports core events
    (**) Option "Button2" "3"
    (**) Option "Button3" "dblclick 1"
    (WW) Option "Button3" requires an integer value
    (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Wacom Graphire2 4x5 cursor" (type: CURSOR)

Numeric button values (17, 196609) that used to generate double click
events on older Wacom driver versions do not generate an error, but also
do not work.

A workaround to get double click events working has been reported, but
it bypasses the Wacom problem (by changing the X key bindings) and I
have not tested it yet:
