I'm user of Ubuntu 18.04.04. Having trouble to make my -one wacom- tablet work. I followed the next instruction:
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
Now, works and its detected properly. BUT selecting the relative tracking mode doesn't change the absolute tracking mode.
What I have to do?
UPDATE: I Found that could be possible through xsetwacom set "device name" Mode "Absolute"
To tried that solution I put on terminalxsetwacom --list devices
and got: xsetwacom don't found, then triedsudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-wacom
suggested by the terminal message and got:
xserver-xorg-input-wacom: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (> = 2: 1.18.99.901)
E: The problems could not be corrected, you have retained broken packages.1 Answer
First you need to figure out the ID of your Wacom Stylus. You can see the IDs of all your devices with
xsetwacom --list devicesThen use that ID to set the Mode to Relative for your stylus:
xsetwacom ---set $STYLUS_ID Mode "Relative"And here's a one-liner that does all that for you:
STYLUS_ID=$(xinput list | grep Wacom | grep stylus | sed -e 's/.*id=\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g') && xsetwacom ---set $STYLUS_ID Mode "Relative"
