I am not sure if I have the same bug with worse symptoms, or a whole different problem, but here goes: My Intuos3 PTX-930 will not work in Ubuntu 17.10. Under Wayland, the cursor flies randomly across the screen whenever the stylus or mouse are near the tablet, often "collecting" in the top left corner. It also leaves a second cursor under the control of the normal mouse/touchpad on my laptop. Under XOrg, location is stable. BUT with either Wayland or Xorg, all input seems to include a "touch" or left-click action! So literally everything the cursor passes over is clicked! Programs opening, windows being opened and closed, CHAOS! In XOrg, clicking stops when I remove the stylus/mouse from the tablet's field, but in Wayland once the stylus/mouse has been near, the chaos never ends until I reboot.
The internet has not been helpful with this, as most solutions are for older versions and refer to repositories that don't exist anymore (doctormo, for one). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726224 Title: wacom invisible mouse pointer in wayland Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10, I connected my Wacom Intuos tablet, which has touch and pen functionality. Controlling the mouse pointer through the touch functionality seems to work fine, but using the stylus produced very strange behaviour, depending the program. - With Firefox there there are two pointers - one that is moving in accordance with the stylus movements, and one stays put at the position, when the stylus movement was detected. - With Darktable the mouse pointer becomes invisible, once it's moved inside of the application window (it registers clicks though). Once the pointer is moved outside of the application window, it appears again. I'm running Ubuntu inside of a wayland session. libwacom2: 0.24-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1726224/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
