The wacom driver functions as a pointer input device, and may be used as the
X server's core pointer.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports the Wacom IV and Wacom V protocols.
Preliminary support is available for USB devices on some Linux platforms.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) for general configuration
details and for options that can be used with all input drivers. This
section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
Multiple instances of the Wacom devices can cohabit. It can be useful
to define multiple devices with different active zones. Each device
supports the following entries:
Option Type\fP \fIstylus|eraser|cursor
sets the type of tool the device represent. This option is mandatory.
Option Device\fP \fIpath
sets the path to the special file which represents serial line where
the tablet is plugged. You have to specify it for each subsection with
the same value if you want to have multiple devices with the same tablet.
This option is mandatory.
Option USB\fP \fIon
tells the driver to dialog with the tablet the USB way. This option is
only available on some Linux platforms.
Option DeviceName\fP \fIname
sets the name of the X device.
Option Suppress\fP \fIInumber
sets the position increment under which not to transmit coordinates.
This entry must be specified only in the first Wacom subsection if you have
multiple devices for one tablet. If you don't specify this entry, the default value
is computed to
Option Mode\fP \fIRelative|Absolute
sets the mode of the device.
Option Tilt\fP \fIon
enables tilt report if your tablet supports it (ROM version 1.4 and above).
If this is enabled, multiple devices at the same time will not be reported.
Option HistorySize\fP \fInumber
sets the motion history size. By default the value is zero.
Option AlwaysCore\fP \fIon
enables the sharing of the core pointer. When this feature is enabled, the
device will take control of the core pointer (and thus will emit core events)
and at the same time will be able, when asked so, to report extended events.
You can use the last available integer feedback to control this feature. When
the value of the feedback is zero, the feature is disabled. The feature is
enabled for any other value.
Option TopX\fP \fInumber
X coordinate of the top corner of the active zone.
Option TopY\fP \fInumber
Y coordinate of the top corner of the active zone.
Option BottomX\fP \fIInumber
X coordinate of the bottom corner of the active zone.
Option BottomY\fP \fInumber
Y coordinate of the bottom corner of the active zone.
Option KeepShape\fP \fIon
When this option is enabled, the active zone begins according to TopX
and TopY. The bottom corner is adjusted to keep the ratio width/height
of the active zone the same as the screen while maximizing the area
described by TopX, TopY, BottomX, BottomY.
Option DebugLevelnumber
sets the level of debugging info reported.
Option BaudRate\fP \fI38400\fP, \fI19200\fP or \fI9600 (default)
changes the serial link speed. This option is only available for
wacom V models (Intuos).
Option Serial\fP \fInumber
sets the serial number associated with the physical device. This allows
to have multiple devices of the same type (i.e. multiple pens). This
option is only available on wacom V devices (Intuos). To see which
serial number belongs to a device, you have to set the DebugLevel to 6 and
watch the output of the X server.
Option Threshold\fP \fInumber
sets the pressure threshold used to generate a button 1 events of stylus
devices for some models of tablets (Intuos and Graphire).
