It's a patch, but it fixes the wrong problem. The bug is in wacomcpl, that's the program that should be patched.
Going back to old style strings alleviates the problem for some users, but doesn't solve it long-term, since people can have different tablets plugged in at a time, and/or multiple tools for each tablets, and want to keep settings separate for them (going back would also prevent the whole stack from improving, since at least now there's no excuses for a graphic program not to allow separate options for separate pens/tools). Else we'd have "stylus", "cursor", "eraser" and "pad" by default, since it was trivial to fix by shipping a slightly different .fdi. Now if there's a wacomcpl patch, then that would be perfect (other applications already support the more precise strings used by default now by the linuxwacom drivers)! Else, other graphical configuration programs exists, the just need one or two more functions to become complete wacomcpl replacements. -- wacomcpl doesn't work when the stylus is configured by HAL (.fdi method) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to wacom-tools in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
