![]() When you get everything working, add the two xsetwacom commands and the xbindkeys command to the script that sets up the LEDs and other binds, so everything will be configured at you don't want to keep entering your password, take out all the "sudo" commands and make the LED setting script SUID root instead: "chmod u+s my-init-intuos4-tablet.sh". You'll want to read the manual pages for xbindkeys and xvkbd to set it up to your own taste, but this should get you started. Now, using the wheel sends keyboard input (equal and minus keys in this example). While it's running, xbindkeys will catch mouse buttons 15 and 16 (generated by the wheel) and send keypresses via xvkbd. Now edit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc to map these buttons to commands, like so:įinally, run xbindkeys. Instead, pick high buttons that won't be used by the mouse. By default, the touchwheel generates mousewheel events. ![]() (the touchwheel defaults to the mouse scroll wheel, which you won't want to rebind)įirst, install xvkbd and xbindkeys. * xsetwacom can rebind the touchwheel to mouse buttons that aren't used. * xbindkeys is a program that captures mouse events and runs command-line programs or scripts on button press. * xvkbd can generate keypresses in scripts and on the command line. You can work around it, though, by creatively using xsetwacom, xbindkeys, and xvkbd together. Unfortunately, that's no longer supported, so there isn't a proper way to do it. xsetwacom would let you bind the wheel events to keypresses directly, problem solved! More infos : you can find the original archive by the programmer Christoph Karg here : Update : The developper Christoph Karg himself visited and commented to give a fresher link to have the last update of his software, thanks ! : ģ0 april 2011, 15:57 used to be really easy to do what you want with old versions of the wacom X driver. Have fun and I hope you will had a good install ! The cons of this script is it has to use super user privilege to run, and so asking a password but this is really fast and nothing compare to the pleasure of using the device properly. Like this I only have to click the icon at start-up. When your script is ready I create here with a right click over my Mint Menu a new launcher easy to setup like the image under. Rm Wacom-LED-icons.zip A bit of more ergonomy to launch it : Unzip Wacom-LED-icons.zip -d ~/Script/Intuos4-LED/icons My script call custom icons I created, feel free to create more yourself with Gimp and have fun ! If you don't know your tablet ID, paste this in a terminal : Gedit ~/Script/Intuos4-LED/src/my-init-intuos4-tablet.sh You have to config the script to your setup, preferences, path, as well as your tablet ID ![]() Mv my-init-intuos4-tablet.sh ~/Script/Intuos4-LED/src/my-init-intuos4-tablet.sh Here is the script I use in my '~/ Script/Intuos4-LED/src' folder ) You can now use this program with a script combined with 'xsetwacom' to create your tablet configuration, I let the surprise : have fun with this 'easter egg' of the programmer Christoph Karg ) Usage : The test do at first a gradient on the LED, then. The test should work on Intuos4-M only, I can't said for other tablet ( S and L ), the identificator seams to be hardcoded by the programmer. Sudo ~/Script/Intuos4-LED/src/intuos4-led-check You can perform a first tablet LED check: Then compile the sources by invoking make Then grab the source zip and unpack ( and clean ) We will create a directory "Script/" first to work on Sudo apt-get install g++ libusb-1.0-0-dev libmagick++-dev Under Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint they are installed as follows: GNU C++ and the USB 1.0 and Magick++ libraries are needed to compile. I'm still a bash beginner, please report your problems on the comments. I advice you to do it line by line, and I hope everything will get installed "automagically" as I tryed to write it. ![]() InstallationĪll you will need is to copy and paste the lines of codes under into a terminal windows ( Ctrl + C here, and Ctrl + Maj + V in the terminal ). I took time to write the terminals code to be the easier as possible. Here is the little how-to I get my tablet to work at 100%, I hope it will help beginners as this is the hardest part for digital painters starting on Linux : getting their tablet to work. Wacom Intuos 4 run 'out-of-box' in Ubuntu and Linux Mint distro, but a lot of little things are still hard for end users: the LED display doesn't works out-of-the-box, and buttons can't be customised with a user interface. The guide under doesn't work because it is from 2011 and code changed. I use it on Kubuntu 19.10 for my Intuos4XL. Update 2020: Let me redirect you to the solution intuos4-oled by Sanette on Github.
