Genius tablet under Linux
I just made a old Genius tablet I got from my grandfather to work under Linux.
The Xorg driver is here. I packaged it for openSUSE in my personal repository in the build service (x11-input-wizardpen and x11-input-wizardpen-tools).
Add a udev rule so the device gets always the same file in /dev, you can find those attributes in /proc/bus/input/devices
[email protected]:~> cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-tablet.rules
KERNEL==”event*”, SYSFS{idProduct}==”0003”
, SYSFS{idVendor}==”5543”, SYMLINK+=”input/tablet
Add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “WizardPen Tablet”
Driver “wizardpen”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/tablet”
Option “TopX” “0”
Option “TopY” “2517”
Option “BottomX” “31859”
Option “BottomY” “32762”
Option “MaxX” “31859”
Option “MaxY” “32762”
EndSection
Then add to the ServerLayout section:
InputDevice “Mouse1” “CorePointer”
InputDevice “WizardPen Tablet” “AlwaysCore”
Restart, drawing with Krita is really fun!
