Pen calibration SP4 Wayland #36

Open afalout opened 3 years ago

afalout commented 3 years ago

Hello, pen works, including pressure. That good. Thanks! Not so good is that the pen draws few inches up and right from where pen is. Tested in several apps including Xournal++, Write & OneNote running on Anbox While Wacom folks clearly are watching Wayland: https://developer-docs.wacom.com/intuos-cintiq-business-tablets/docs/wayland-faqs https://developer-docs.wacom.com/intuos-cintiq-business-tablets/docs/wayland-overview ... ATM, Wacom tools are not compatible with Wayland, so cant use that for calibration. Is there a way to calibrate pen in this situation? Thanks!

So I'm the only one wanting to use pen on Linux with Wayland ? :(

No, but you might be the only one that needs to calibrate the Pen.

There are no tools to calibrate the Pen, except for the calibrator that is built into GNOME (Wacom tools won't work since it is not a Wacom pen / digitizer).

Thanks for your response! So are you saying that pen works correctly for other people, so they dont need to calibrate it?

Im on KDE/Wayland, and libwacom does not support Wayland. Can anyone confirm is there pen works correctly in this configuration?

BTW - libwacom fork for Intel Precise Touch and Stylus does exist: https://github.com/linux-surface/libwacom

Thanks, Andrej

Libwacom is just a database of device IDs and a library to query them. DEs can use it to list all wacom-like devices but the only DE that actually does that is GNOME. It doesnt impact the functionality of the device.

I used KDE with Wayland for a while in the past and everything was working fine. I would assume that it works fine for most people since I havent seen reports like this (or only a few).

Did you check if the pen works properly under Xorg? Are the GTK apps you mentioned (Xournal++) running using Wayland (run xkill or xprop and see if you can select them. If yes they use Xorg not Wayland)
